Google: 96 shown, though 9000+ claimed Bing: 311 shown, though 6800+ claimed Mojeek: 478 shown Neeva: 318 shown DuckDuckGo: 151 shown Microsoft Academic: 700+ academic citations shown (mostly for a y2000 paper that spawned a new branch of electronics, it's amusing to see what others have done with the idea).
Herein lies the rub. On page 6 of Mojeek on my search on Keith Lofstrom it starts to wander off. Most results aren't relevant and/or I can't tell if the info is in some way actually related to you. This doesn't occur until mid-way down page 10 of the Google search results. Mind you, I only know about what you've talked about on PLUG to be able to determine that a search result is related to you. One noticeable difference is that Mojeek lists your website first and the Google search lists it 6th. Another noticeable difference is that on page 1 of the Google search results I get a link to patents filed w. your name at justia.com. On Mojeek, I looked at the results through page 5 of Mojeek and the justia.com patent info doesn't show. So by my test, Google provides 4 and a half more pages of relevant information on the web search of one Keith Lofstrom.
