Noticed Bing UK and Yahoo UK are almost exactly the same ranking results?

I've run a few keyword ranking updates today and I've noticed that Bing UK and Yahoo UK results are almost exactly the same? This is unusual, the results for these two engines rarely tally with one another. Is anyone seeing the same?

It's not surprising really. Yahoo uses Bing to pull in organic search results and has been doing so for quite a long time now.

It makes sense that you would be seeing the same results across both platforms.

That explains US and Canada, but the OP is actually asking about the UK. I'm not aware of a partnership there.

Edit: there is an agreement for the UK as well. Details are at http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/news/1083306/Yahoo-UK-searches-switch-Bing-results/.
