Faceless pages with search giants search results

Although there are not many search engines, they exist, and they compete for the audience. Not so long ago, Yandex offered an updated search results page, where the search query string stuck to the top edge of the browser window when scrolling. I was puzzled by the updated interface lack of individuality of the search engine. When the user starts to scroll the page, information about where the user is located disappears, there is no logo, no corporate colors. I propose to compare the convenience of the pages with the search results of various search engines, which of the search engines cares about their users, and values ​​corporate style.



For clarity, screenshots of pages with the results of search queries, I suggest guessing where the search engine is)

Obviously, the choice of font colors, the blue link, the black main text of the page description, and the green additional information in the form of a link to the page are common.
Just determine which search engine answered your question, perhaps only an experienced search engine user can.
I admit that this choice of primary colors of the page is dictated by extensive experience in building interfaces, and research in attracting attention, but where is the individuality of each search engine?
In my humble opinion, it is quite obvious that of the presented pages with search results, the Mail.ru portal page is the most successful.
• the page shows the search query string.
• There are links on the page to help clarify the user's request.
• on the page you can see additional search results (pictures ...)
• on the page there are links to additional services of the portal
• And most importantly, the user understands which search engine he asked for.

Search engines that encourage webmasters to create unique content and services should set an example on their own. The similarity of 80% does not improve the perception of pages with search results, does not contribute to the memorization of the search engine, does not affect the sympathy of users.
Ratings that current search results pages deserve:
1. Yandex - 3
2. Yahoo - 2
3. Rambler - 2
4. Bing - 2
5. Google - 3
6. Mail - 5

In some cases, improving search results pages is very simple:
My version of the updated page for Yandex, is implemented with minimal changes in CSS, or any special graphic improvements of the page were required.

I propose to help search engines to make a truly convenient search interfaces for us.
