Profile

Hi HN,I built Search Bench as a small experiment to compare search engines without showing which engine produced which results. It was inspired by the idea behind the LLM Arena, but applied to search.How it works:1. You enter a query.2. You see two result sets side-by-side (search engine names hidden).3. You pick which is better, or mark them as similar.Methodology- Each vote is a pairwise comparison (ties count as 0.5 win each).- Ratings use a Bradley–Terry model with iteratively updated ability scores, normalized by geometric mean.- Final scores are log-scaled (1500 + 400 * log10(ability)), like ELO but derived from the Bradley–Terry model.- Pair selection is adaptive, prioritizing under-s

Community-driven, blind comparison of search engine results is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

The company is listed at the Show HN launch stage of development.
