Check it out, a unique way to compare and vote on which search engine results are the best:
Blind Search
This is blind test where you type a search query. You receive 3 rows of results and get to vote on which one provided the best results. The kicker is all of the labeling has been removed so you don't know which search engine you are voting for.
Bing vs. Google vs. Yahoo

It does not show results? Only the result you picked.

It reveals the logos and highlights the one I selected as far as I can tell. No charts or numbers...

UPDATE: Some douche is gaming the system, I've removed the ability to see the results until I sort this out. Meanwhile you can still have fun playing with blind search. Feel free to blame the douche for ruining it for everybody. Meanwhile, I wouldn’t take this a scientific whats-e-ma-jing, it's just a bit of observational fun.

It was already disabled by the time I checked. I was confused by your first question though. I have no idea what the results are now. :)

The system can still be "Gamed"
Just used tabbed browsing,
1 Tab for the comparison search.
3 Tabs for the search engines to compare the results with.

I didn't load each search engine in another tab, I only loaded Google. Most of the time the other two search engines do not produce the same first result that Google does.
EDIT: You can also view the source and determine which container is which search engine by the hidden DIV image. Here are the three DIVs with image tags:
Yahoo
Google
Bing
