Ask.com Review Summary

Search engines are abundant on the internet and Ask.com ranks as one of the favorites of our reviewers. With Ask.com, the searching is question oriented and this makes it a good search engine choice for those who have a direct question that needs to be answered. Reviewers also like the ease of use and the simplicity of Ask.com. This search engine is an “Excellent Source to Get in the Know”, and I “Can’t Live Without It”. The only frequent criticism of Ask.com is that it doesn’t offer the comprehensive information and additional services common to some other search engines, like Google.com. But other than that, Ask.com is considered a very good Search Engine and it ranks among the better search functions offered on the internet.

When it comes to search engines, Google practically own the field.  As an avid reader, writer and researcher, I've become very good at using Google to get the information I need.

But there are times

Yes, there are times that I'm stumped.  I don't know whether I'm just on overload or what, but I just...

My experience in using the ask.com website hasn't been great, to me the website is more dificult to use than your average search engines like Google for example.

I don't use Ask.com as much as Google, but I do use it a lot. It's a great search engine and in my opinion is just as easy to use as Google and has just as good results. I use it fairly often for basic search, images, and news, and it works great for all of these.

What makes Ask better than Google is that it's a lot more respectful of your privacy. Google tracks all of people's searches, with their IP address, and as far as I know there isn't any way to opt out. Ask has a cool feature called the "Ask Eraser" which enables you to tell Ask not to store your IP address with your searches. I really...

I usually use Google.com for my every day searches but occasionally I think of something that just can't be summed up into one or two words and that's when I go to ASK.com.

I love that I can ask it a question and a list of web sites that might have the answer pop up. You don't seem to find as many websites listed as Google.com, but often times it can get you started in the right direction and then from there you can try searching either more into what ASK.com gave you or take that info and go to another site.

Excellent site for those little questions you just need to find help on and get some answers to.  A great way to find very useful sources and discover new sites.  Every response may not be exactly what you were looking for, but there is always a variety of responses to review.

 Find answers for "how to's", party ideas, gift ideas, craft ideas and anything else you can think up.  It's never a stupid question if you just ask.com.

I have been using Ask.com (AskJeeves) for many years; before it was well-known, and before Google existed. It always seems to follow my train of thought well.

I began using Ask.com when it was ask jeeves.com and though I've tried other search engines, I return to ask.com without fail.  Keep up the good work.
