The layers go like this:

	Yahoo -> Bing -> Wolfram Alpha

If a comparison of the backend directly and the M$ advertising front end 
show a difference, then that would be useful to know, too.

One thing that stands out in my experience is that M$ services can give 
vastly different search results depending on the web browser used. 
Probably best to borrow a Windows machine, if you know anyone still 
running that crap, with MSIE to do the test.

On our side, incorrect metadata is a big search engine problem 
afflicting AFAIK each page on the entire OOo web site.  It would be 
better not to have any metadata (e.g. keywords, description) than to 
spam each page with the same inaccurate metadata.
