Ask Jeeves, www.ask.com Reviews
Summary
Ask Jeeves.com dropped the famous butler some time ago and implemented a raft of upgrades to create the new ask.com UK. Although acclaimed by critics to be better than Google it still faces an enourmous challenge to attempt to win people over to it's clever search engine. Most notable is Ask.com use of search term suggestions built from common searches conducted by other users on it's Teoma database. Despite being a competitor to Google, Ask.com advertising is sourced from Google. It will be interesting to see the future of AskJeeves in a consolidating market. Have you experienced AskJeeves.com and want to tell others about your opinion, positive or negative it can be about anything to do with Ask Jeeves.com

“Bad quality of kenmore landuary product”
Written on: 25/11/2011 by xyy1008 (1 review written)
I bought Washer and Dryer combo. in July, 2010, the dryer does not work anymore and need repair. Kenmore products are so bad that you can expect to repair it just after the one year warranty is expired, then Sears can do another bussinese for your for profit.I am so dispointed about the Kenmore products, they are just something gives your trouble.

Written on: 09/04/2008 by Black Ghost 7 (139 reviews written)
Ask.com is a good search engine which is probably often overlooked like so many others due to Google's dominance. I do use it ocassionally when I feel google is not giving me the results I want. Some handy features are the 'add to my stuff' link and the filter dropdownboxes. Overall I recommend you give them a try: www.ask.com (read more)

Written on: 25/12/2005 by behealthy83 (6 reviews written)
For me personally, the Ask Jeeves search engine is the best web search engine out there. It's the first engine I try, and if by some slim chance Jeeves comes up empty, I go to Yahoo as my second choice.
When you search from the homepage, you will receive numerous results.
I recommend Jeeves all the time when asked.

“Ask Jeeves must have the world's best marketing...”
Written on: 23/10/2003 by TomPhil (1 review written)
Ask Jeeves must have the world's best marketing campaign, because it is the world's worst search engine.
Many people use Ask Jeeves because it has a picture of a butler, and they like the novelty of asking the butler a question. They also think that using a search engine like Google is more complicated.
Let me tell you something. Both Google and Ask Jeeves work in the same way. They remove all the unimportant words from your query (like "and", "it", etc.) and then search through websites...

I tried Ask Jeeves a few times, and I was disgusted. I hope he irons better than he answers!

i think ask .com is the best search engine, google in my opinion google uses some of the words you type in your search but thats about it the results are extremly far fetched i like ask .com because it searches for exactly what you typed in the search box pluss gives you a list of diffrent ways to search for it

Your review does seem a little harsh, Jeeves seems a nice guy, and very well mannered, he always has a smile on his face and always welcome you with "God Morning" or "Good Afternoon"...sorry just kiddin. On a serious note... you do seem to have a bit of experience with a few different search engines, I on the other hand do not. I have always used Jeeves to search for things and not really had much of a problem. But I am going to mark your review as helpful and give google a try so that I can post a review here.
