The article also refers to a Dogpile study of search results overlap between the search engines from Ask Jeeves, Google and Yahoo. Out of more than 10,000 sample queries, 86% returned a different #1 ranked algorithmic result in each search engine, and 32% of these queries did not return any overlapping results in the top three algorithmic positions in each engine.
