Either Google thinks Altavista is the best search engine or it has the best SEO

If that's the case Bing probably has the worst. The excerpt reads "Visual Search · » · » · » · » · ◄ · ►. ©. The USS Missouri and Arizona Memorial in Pearl..."

you are probably logged in and it's giving you custom results.

Dogpile is #2 for me.

On bing #1 result is Dogpile

On Yahoo #1 result is Yahoo

On Dogpile, #1 result is Dogpile

On Ask, #1 result is Ask

On Altavista, #1 result is Yahoo

I think its more impressive that Google doesn't even rank itself in the top 10

DuckDuckGo was only 2 after Google. Way to go!

Well, it seems Altavista somehow has a PR of 9. The only other site with the PR of 9 on that page is Yahoo but Yahoo's page doesn't seem to mention "search engine" as explicitly as Altavista, so the ranking makes sense.

How in the world Altavista has a PR of 9 is a mystery though.
