Ask Jeeves Updated
Ask Jeeves launches a new version, Ask Jeeves 5.0. The changes include
- A new database for images from Picsearch, available from a link on the main page as well as from a radio button and when the query includes 'pictures' or 'images.'
- Spelling suggestions added at the top
- Streamlined look on the main page
- Ask has moved away from the tabs approach so common at other search engines. Instead, it has links on the bottom of the main page to their image, news, and products databases.
- Search terms are highlighted in boldface in results list
- Some suggested 'related searches' may show up in the right margin, but the Teoma resources (metasites) are not included.
- For certain popular queries, Ask offers 'Smart Answers.' For driving directions, acronyms/abbreviations, movie times, sports teams, and more, preselected content is included in a top red-bordered box.
