Updated Askjeeves Still not as good as Google, though

Recommended Posts

According to CNN, they've added a "Web Answer" feature. When you type in a topic, a little sidebar comes up with information you may have been looking for. This is supposed to save you from uneccesary web surfing. For instance, typing in "Lake Tahoe" would bring up information on its location, its size, etc.

The CNN article:

So, what do you all think?

I think it`s pretty cool that you get answers instead of a "site'that contains the answers, they might have a good one with this feature.Although I will still use google search I think I will be using thi one on tha side too.

I think Google has something like that that's downloadable. And I think that, if I had remembered correctly, Windows Longhorn is going to have that feature also. I don't know if it's true or not, it's just something I think I've heard.

i especially like your title ... "...still not as good as Google"i've never liked Ask Jeeves too much because they recommend actually asking a question ... if you notice in search engines such as Google and Yahoo!, however, at the top when you'd type in "What is a proton and what is a neutron?" Google says at the top, "AND" not included in search .... Jeeves recommends doing this however, which can actually slow down search resultsbigredrosen
