Google Search Results Firefox and Internet Explorer

By Dave Smith Sunday June 22, 2008

Be a Lab Rat conduct an Experiment, (No Lab Rats will be harmed in the process)

Upside Down Search ResultsI need the help of some Lab Rats (I use that term endearingly) who use both FF and IE.

Here is the Lab exercise I’m getting different search results from Google depending on which browser I’m using.

Not just a little difference in some cases the difference is Page1 #1 in IE and Page 2 – 5 on FF for some search results.

Why would I be getting different results from different browsers? I know about hitting different datacenters. I don’t think this can account for the results I’m seeing.

To add to the puzzle, if I hit search again in FF I usually get a reordering of the results. In IE they stay the same.

Therefore, I would like anyone using both browsers to check your keyword placements in both IE and FF and see if you are getting similar, same, or different results.

Where is the Difference Search Engine or Browser

If the search is coming from the same place why the differences? Is Google displaying one thing for Microsoft and something else for FF? Or is there a difference in the way the browsers gather, store or display the search results?

If you want to kill even more time, run the same checks on Yahoo and MSN and see if you get the same results you get from Google. (Does anyone use something besides Google?)

Finally, am I just loosing it and need to shut down the computer, clear the buffers and find a hammock on an island surrounded by blue water, balmy breezes and . . .
