The search engine battle out there is pretty intense. It seems that every time that you add a new application to your computer, they want to install a toolset. It might be Yahoo, Google, Ask, or others. While the search results are really the most important thing to measure a search engine on, one of the things that many people also measure is how the engine marks the holiday. I tend to like Google, and they do some tasteful things on holidays (most of the time).
This weekend for Memorial day, they were a little underwhelming. Over here is a nice comparison of the search engines over the Memorial Day weekend.
