The search engine wars are many things: one-sided, enduring, non-violent. But like all good immutable conflicts, they can also be catty.

Using the magic of autocomplete, we took a look at what the four major search engines (or, more accurately, their users/algorithms) really think of each other, based on autocompleted search results in a Chrome incognito window. Advanced warning that it’s a more civil war than you might have expected. And that, more than anything, the internet is filled with some very confused people.

Google

Bing

DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo rises above the fray (in that it has no autocomplete).
