This paper examines the overlapping of the results retrieved between three major search engines namely Google, Yahoo and Bing. A rigorous analysis of overlap among these search engines was conducted on 100 random queries. The overlap of first ten web page results, i.e., hundred results
from each search engine and only non-sponsored results from these above major search engines were taken into consideration. Search engines have their own frequency of updates and ranking of results based on their relevance. Moreover, sponsored search advertisers are different for different
search engines. Single search engine cannot index all Web pages. In this research paper, the overlapping analysis of the results were carried out between October 1, 2018 to October 31, 2018 among these major search engines namely, Google, Yahoo and Bing. A framework is built in Java to analyze
the overlap among these search engines. This framework eliminates the common results and merges them in a unified list. It also uses the ranking algorithm to re-rank the search engine results and displays it back to the user.
