Ask Jeeves is a search engine website which i used to see heavily advertised through the media of television when I was at college. Of course at that time I was not familiar with the other search engines and therefore this became synonymous with web searching. As seems standard fare with search engines, you can set the search parameters from 3 main categorys and these are setting it to return search results for videos, images or from the web. However this is where the success of the search becomes very hit and miss and clearly due to the limitations of the technology employed, the number of search results is quite minimal when compared to google for ...  Read the complete review

Ask.com, which may be better known as "Ask Jeeves", is an Internet search engine which was first revealed to the general public in 1996. It originally began as a service where users could ask questions in a natural language setting and receive search results based on that question. For example, the question "what colour is the sky?" would return results based on perceived results which may answer that question. This ran counter to the standard keyword search which would yield results based on that word being contained in a certain web page. The idea is that natural language results would generate more useful results and this continues to be so. ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Ask.com is the search engine which used to be called askjeeves.com which used to be one of the biggest search engines and the idea was you asked a question and "Jeeves" would answer it. However now hardly anyone uses Jeeves even though one of the most used search engine because of Google which is simply much better and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing. IS IT GOOD? I have tried using Ask but the simple problem is that it provides less results than Google does and probably the other big search engines which is a major problem as search engines are the way people get around the internet so having less results mean it is ...  Read the complete review

Ask.com is probably, in my opinion anyway the 3rd best known search engine in the world. Ask.com used to be called askjeeves.com which i found the man in it ''Jeeves'' very annoying, i didn't like the TV adverts they used to do either with the man running over and telling the people watching the advert to ''Ask Jeeves''. Doing a little search on their website i tried to find out when ask.com was made, but there is no results so that shows you how unrealiable they are if they can't provide information about their own site! There is one feature on ask.com which i really like and i hope search engines like google use this in the future, it's the binocular ...  Read the complete review

Ask.com, formerly known as AskJeeves.com, is a fairly popular search engine. It's definitely lost a lot of traffic to Google and Yahoo and seems to be getting used less and less. I can't remember even seeing an advert from them in years, like they used to have. In terms of design, it's very simple and more or less the same as Google, in the way that there is a text box to type in your search or question and then a logo of the company. One thing I do prefer on Ask.com is the image search. It seems easier to narrow your search with size and colour without having to go into the advanced settings. Although they don't have anything new or useful. It ...  Read the complete review
