Has anyone noticed divergence between Bing and Yahoo results?

Has anyone else noticed a more pronounced divergence between Bing and Yahoo results?  In the past, there has sometimes been a lag between the two but ultimately the results ended up fundamentally the same.  Over the last few weeks I am seeing some very marked differences.  Anyone else seeing this??

  • Christopher Shaffer: I have. My best guess is that they are testing different bits of their algo to see which performs better, much the way google does.
