microsoft is using a serogate search agregate tool in the top left panel so that your top 4 answers go to google or the microsoft served yahoo search results .... if you have no history all the results go to their agregator service (i was not quick enough to see the .com it got the results from 5 letters i believe)

this is a fresh copy of windows 8 with an ant virus and firewall and i have used windows 7 and had results from the internal search and or my dns search service....

the most common search place now seems to be yahoo (serving the results from microsoft code i believe)

but i got at least 5 results from bing before that ...

is there any way this can be stoped ? searches are not private even using duck and go.
