Default relevance of Search Engines

In the UK we have just had a big food scare, headline news with regard to the use of a dye Sudan 1 that is illegal when used in foods due to its carcinogenic nature.

I did a search for Sudan 1 on Google, MSN and Yahoo. Each was set to show 10 listings per page.

The 1st page on Google had 7 references to the food dye.

1st page on MSN had 4 listings, all 4 were references to Google's listings of sudan 1 as a food dye.

1st page on Yahoo had references on neither the .com or .co.uk sites.

I shall remain a devoted Google user.

simonm, excellent post, but Yahoo takes 10 times longer to pick up 'News' Stories than Google ever will(possibly), which is why I use the Google Alert on the Gtoolbar.
