Ruben Gomez spotted yet another interesting test, this one by Bing, testing a similar user interface to Google’s default search interface. Yahoo did the same thing earlier this week, where they took a very similar Google design approach and tested it for some of their users.

Now it seems Bing is testing that same Google search interface as well.

Here is a picture of the Bing design test:
