Stories Related to Side By Side: A Look At The Top Search Trends From Yahoo, Bing, And Google

The results are in: Bing, Yahoo, and Google have all released their top search trends for 2009. We've been following them over the last few days, and decided we'd put them side by side to see if any interesting patterns emerged. Note that Bing's results are US only (and Yahoo's exclude other English-speaking properties) so we're including Google's US results for the most apples-to-apples comparison. Before we draw any conclusions, it's important to note that the methods employed are neither consistent between search engines, nor are they scientific to begin with.
