BlindSearch

Welcome to BlindSearch, the search engine taste test.

Type in a search query above, hit search then vote for the column which you believe best matches your query. The columns are randomised with every query.

The goal of this site is simple, we want to see what happens when you remove the branding from search engines. How differently will you perceive the results?

This was a fun little experiment, and yes,  I spent way too much time on this web-site.  I thought most of the time my preferred search engine would have been Google, but sometimes it turned out to be Yahoo! and Bing, the new Microsoft search engine.

From Wikio.com, it’s a ranking of political blogs — emanating from everywhere from living rooms, mainstream media organizations, and the White House. The rankings are compiled based on links from other blogs — with extra weight given to blogs that rank higher via Wikio’s formulas, and based on how recently an item is published. Blog rolls aren’t taken into account, so only fresh postings impact the rankings.

So you’re a college student that has to turn in an assignment online, but you need more time.  So instead of turning in a cruddy assignment, you send your instructor a corrupted file.  Since the instructor will be unable to open your assignment, he or she will ask you to resend the assignment, perhaps buying a day or two in the process.

Step 1: After purchasing a file, rename the file e.g. Mike_Final-Paper.

Step 2: Email the file to your professor along with your “here’s my assignment” email.

Step 3: It will take your professor several hours if not days to notice your file is “unfortunately” corrupted. Use the time this website just bought you wisely and finish that paper!!!
