Someone should make one of those blind experiments where you pull in the search results from yahoo, bing, google and DDG, so people can do a blind test to see which search engine is better

Already happened. People seemed to have preferred the bing search results, and the Google-looking page. Perhaps somebody can even find the reference for this?

Google must have disagreed since they just made their page layout look more like Bings.

It's probably the Google brand that people like more than the actual layout.

A lot of DDG results look fundamentally different and so wouldn't work in a blind test.
