Different Result on Local SE

Hi, I'm a newbie, from Mexico.

I get different results when searching on local SE. Google seems to be the least different (www.google.com vs www.google.com.mx) but Yahoo and MSN do have completely different results. Comparing www.yahoo.com vs www.yahoo.com.mx and www.msn.com vs www.t1msn.com I realized they use different systems. Does anyone know why is that?? I thought they all had one database shared worldwide.

What would be the point of your localized search if it were the same as any another localized search or a global one?

Thanks Paulb, I know that the advantage of local SE is providing local results. But I'm asking about ranking systems. Yahoo and MSN seem to use completely different ranking systems and spiders and everything in their local SE's. Why is that??
