www.ask.com - ask jeeves a question for free
searchsearch enginequestionVisitors to www.ask.com will find a powerful but somewhat neglected
search engine. A stark white background and a search bar take up the
majority of monitor real estate, but there are also regularly updated
lists of frequent questions being via the search engine and hot news
updates. Obviously taking a cue from Google's success, searches at
ask.com will turn up a number of clearly labeled sponsored results in
addition to organic returns. Along the top of ask.com readers will find separate search topics for
local info, news, sales and special deals and other highly focused
topics. Users can navigate these menus to customize their experience and
make sure their searches are tailored to their specific needs. Not
surprisingly, the meat of the site's content is through the primary
search engine. The results it turns up are highly relevant, but those
used to using Google or Yahoo will find it less pleasing to the eye and
less user friendly.
An interesting feature www.ask.com houses is their videos section.
Although not significantly different from competitor Google Videos, it
has some eye catching design and a fun to use interface. Quick to pick
up most recent submissions from major sites, there's a laudable amount
of content available from ask.com's video search engine. Although it fails to live up to the standards set by megacomany Google,
ask.com is a pleasant and inoffensive search engine with a few neat toys
for web surfers to play around with. If you're looking for a change
from the usual search engine, ask.com is worth a try.
