Search Bench – Blind comparison of search engine results

Summary: Search Bench enables users to compare two anonymous search engine result sets for any query by selecting the preferred one. It removes brand bias by hiding engine names until after voting and aggregates results into a live public leaderboard using a Bradley–Terry model.

What it does

It presents pairwise, anonymous search results for user queries and records which set is preferred. Votes contribute to a leaderboard reflecting collective preferences without revealing engine identities beforehand.

Who it's for

Users interested in unbiased comparisons of search engine results based on personal relevance rather than brand perception.

Why it matters

It addresses the lack of blind, direct comparisons between search engines, helping reveal true user preferences free from brand influence.
