Ask.com’s new search
Posted by admin
Ever asked yourself what would search be like without Google? Well, take a look at the new 3-column search at www.ask.com (doesn’t appear to be live as yet on regional versions, just www).
Once you’ve submitted your search query, you get a very interesting perspective on what to do next.
- On the left, you have your search box to refine your query, complete with a variety of options for narrowing or expanding a search, and related searches.
- In the middle, your search results, complete with the “Binocular” view to get a quick snapshot of the site before actually clicking on the result.
- Best of all, on the right, we have multiple modules, who’s content varies depending on the query. It might be videos, or weather, or images - whatever comes up, it’s an interesting way of exploring your original query.

Go, take a little traffic away from the Googlopoly and Ask instead. (Though personally, I preferred the butler!)
