The Bottom Line
It's a novelty, but it's inferior to most search engines.

Well, you have to admit, it's a good idea. Wouldn't we all love it if computers were just a little more plain-language fluent? That's why I used to use Ask Jeeves. I likes just asking a simple question and getting a direct answer. But, sometimes Jeeves has a hard time figuring out your question and, being a guy, he just assumes what you want instead of asking you to clarify. If you ask him a question, you'll likely get back several similar questions to choose from that really have nothing to do with what you're looking for. For example, if you ask him what area on california a bottle of wine comes from, you'll get places to buy wine online and travel tips for California. My suggestion is to stay clear of ask.com. There are many better sites out there that'll save you a lot of time in your search.
