Entering search terms provided slightly different results on the following sights:
term: uss yorktown nt
The first 3 results were:
google.com - 1. wired.com 2. wikipedia.org 3. abtacles.com
bing.com - 1. wired.com 2. wikipedia.org 3. greenspun.com
baidu.com - 1. tvtrip.tw 2. wikipedia.org 3. wired.com
google.cn - 1. wired.com 2. wikipedia.org 3. coneslayer.org
For this search term the results were more or less the same seeing as the first 3 all had both wikipedia.org and wired.com.
term: google china censorship
This search term was more interesting in terms of the variance. On baidu.com the results were all from sources other than what appeared on google.com, bing.com and google.cn. Interestingly on google.cn the first result was just www.google.cn whereas on google.com the first 3 results were news articles talking about google stopping it's censorship on it's chinese site.
term: Tiananmen Square
This search term shows the obvious censorship by the Chinese. On both google.com and bing.com the first results are about the 1989 protests and massacre at Tiananmen Square as well as images and videos. There are also a few informational links about the square and to images and a virtual tour. However on both baidu.com and google.cn there are no informational results about the 1989 protests, only some images of it on google.cn and the links are to information, events or things of that nature.
term: Taiwan independence
Though I thought this term would also provide different results on the search engines it surprisingly did no bring a lot of variance. Both baidu.com and google.cn seemed to provide more links to Taiwanese sites whereas google.com and bing.com provided more links to U.S. sites. The articles in all the links though were informational about the Taiwanese movement for independence from China. The difference seems to be in the source of the information with this search term.
