Search for online news

Here are what the following search engines provided when searching the term 'news'.

Ask Jeeves
Provides the URL, uk.ask.com which ackowleges the location of the searcher. Gives the searcher the option to search the whole web or 'UK only.' Lists the BBC News site as the top result followed by UK newspapers once again catering to the searchers location. On the right hand side of the page there is a scetion entitled 'Other people asked' with suggested questions related to news. On the left hand side there is the option to narrow the search by selecting images, video etc. Underneath the top result is a section called 'Related to your search: news.' All of the results provided are UK based despite the fact that I had not selected the 'UK only' search option. Does not list the amount of search results.

Yahoo
Has provided the UK and Ireland search engine. Gives it's own news site of Yahoo News as the top result displaying a list of headlines to read. The advertisement provided is related to the search conducted with The Huffington Post being advertised, though interestingly this is not based on my location. The BBC is listed twice on the page. Yahoo has also provided more specialist news searches such as MTV which would consist of mainly music and celebrity news and the same with NME. Related searches are listed which include 'Welsh News' which gives a nod to local results.

Google
Google has provided the most results so far with 11,830,000,000 results. Very locally orientated with lost of Bristolian results being listed. It gives my location and gives me the option to change my location which suggests that this would differ my results. Related searches list a lot of American news coorperations such as CNN and Fox news. BBC is once again listed twice, one for the general news and one for BBC Bristol.

Bing
BBC listed twice again. Half of the adverts listed are related to my search whilst the other half are completely unrelated with the adverts being for weight loss sites. Guardian is listed higher up than any other site and is listed above the related search section. It also gives me the option to search within the BBC imediately.
