Review of askjeeves.co.uk

Ask Jeeves is the Search Engine with a difference and very unlike your usual Search Engines such as Yahoo and Lycos, to name a few. What struck me most about Ask Jeeves was the simplicity of the start page. An unknowing visitor could not be blamed for mistaking this as a website for a posh restaurant or hotel. Unlike other search engines Ask Jeeves asks you; Have A Question? Let me help you find the answer. This is very unique indeed. Another ...
...instead of only a phrase or a keyword. One example I would like to give you in order for you to understand they true potential of the search feature offered is: I asked the following question: “What is the capital city of Ghana” My results were: “The capital city of Ghana is Accra”. This off course is the correct answer. But not only did they provide me with my answer but also provided me with an option to find out more ...

'Oh', I lamented in my chair for the fourth time that fine summer's evening, 'Dear Jeeves.... - will you ever learn?' Alas, no, it seems. Jeeves, my internet butler, far from serving me, his master, with any information from the internet I so desire, will be served himself with his P45. I suspect Jeeves has had the tantalus keys copied: I'm sure I could detect the smell of sherry when he told me with a straight face I can buy curtains from an Irish ...
...The site makes a big play about the fact that Jeeves is an intelligent "being". Jeeves, apparently, exists to tame the Internet for you. His only wish is to make your experience of it more rewarding and therefore more enjoyable. Lofty ideals, yet Jeeves proves somewhat challenged in the cranial department. According to Jeeves himself (although he doesn't like to blow his own trumpet, naturally sir) HE is the web's foremost question answerer, and ...

Jeeves wants you to ask a question they have never been asked before to win a million pounds! Sounds good but www.askjeeves.com is a massive site which has been going for a while now and therefore this may be more difficult than it sounds! The concept of the site is very simple, all you have to do is go to the site and type your question. Jeeves then finds possible sites that will help you answer your question. Most people have probably heard of ...

The results of your question are given in a line below your original question. These are what jeeves considers to be helpful information on your question, all you have to do is pick the one/s that sound good and click on them. You will then be taken to the web address shown. Secondly... A nice touch is the previously ...

Not much of an update just to say that good old jeeves £1million question has finished and that it looks like he gets to keep it :o( maybe he can buy himself a new suit :o) Here is the challenge! If you think you can ask a question that hasn’t been asked before, the £1million is yours to keep! If you don’t, then don’t worry because you can ask up to fifty questions a day and you will be entered into a daily draw of fantastic prizes ...

As a search engine that rampages through the internet for every question that is asked l am sure some really weird and wonderful stuff has been answered. Since l have been using the internet l have used Ask Jeeves on many occasion and without fail from the depths of all those sites an answer has been brought to my screen.

I don't believe it. Dooyoo has everything on it but they have only just added ask.co.uk. Either this is an oversight or I am one of the few using ask Jeeves! How could anyone miss the tacky tv ads asking you to use Jeeves (butler guy from PGWodehouse I think, might be very wrong). Ask is a meta search engine, this means that it searches other search engines, generally lycos, yahoo types. It is easy to use and well laid out. You simply type your question ...

They have the name of the search engine used on the left as a link. Click on this and you will be taken directly ...

The stately homes had one, the wealthy had one and now everybody can have one, their own personal butler. Not to fetch and carry in the real world but to do the fetching in cyberspace. AskJeeves is a brilliant idea to help people find out about any subject under the sun and even on it. Type in www.askjeeves.co.uk and you get a pale yellow box with Jeeves looking as if he is ready to do your bidding. As it says just above a text box all you need ...
...will be forthcoming. Well not exactly the answer but a pointer to where you can get the answer to your question. So the longer your question then the greater the number of possible places where you can get your answer most of which will be irrelevant. The trick is to ask the right question in as few words as possible because Jeeves picks up on key words in your question and seeks out web sites with these key words. Type in Lords when you want the ...

If you wanted to find two of the most popular products to write about in Ciao then I would direct you at Google and Ask Jeeves. Pretty much everyone bows down and worships the CyberSpace in which Google rules, but opinions seem to be mixed on Ask Jeeves. Newbies - and it can be pretty easy to spot these people - often seem to like Ask Jeeves, whereas old hats like myself hate it. www.askjeeves.com is an American site. www.ask.co.uk is the British ...
...com which will try and point you in the right direction. Ask Jeeves is a lie. That’s what annoys me the most about it. It sets you up to believe that you can ask a question in natural English. “How can I earn more money at Ciao?” I asked. Jeeves wasn’t sure, he wanted me to select categories ranging from “How to do Maths” to “How to Make Money On-line.” Well, I suppose the last one was not too far off, but after exploring down that thread for a ...

www.Ask.co.uk is the UK version of what must be quite a successful US site www.Ask.com. The advertising for the website here in the UK has been to Ask Jeeves, the internet Butler, and I would say that the adverts have probably been quite successful, as I'm sure the site would not be running if they didn't get enough people using it. ~~Searching~~ The idea behind the site is that you type in something to search for much like most other Internet ...

The theory behind asking Jeeves a question is that he'll remove all the common words and make an intelligent boolean related search with the remaining terms, trying to match your request to a question that he can answer. For this reason it can be very haphazard. Even a simple question such as "What injections do I require if going to Colombia?" which effectively is a search for +injections +Colombia on Altavista can throw a few spanners in the works. ...
...also got answers about worming dogs! Askjeeves also then tries to be clever and give me other Colombia related answers, which whilst it is sometimes useful, is only useful if they match my query. I admit that currency exchange rates and leisure activities in Colombia are useful but sometimes suggestions are ludicrous. Take for example my search request for "Jokes about the Euro" and I am then confronted first up by information about the Disney Character ...

CONCEPT You ask a question and put it one the appropriate category notice board, then one of the experts will answer it for you.

Ask Jeeves is a search engine in which you ask it a question and it is supposed to come up with the answer. This doesn’t actually work that well though as all the questions I have asked Jeeves I have never got an answer too! I have heard a lot of other people say this aswell. You are supposed to enter a sentence of speech as a question, for which ‘Butler’ will then find you your answer, however, I have found that a different approach ...
...This still has never got me a proper answer, but it is worth a try. The search will produce results from various search engines, in which you get results in drop down boxes, click on it and it will take you to that page on the world wide web. The site is very easy to use, and designed well. It is fast and efficient, you don’t get any nonsense, apart from your answers! I asked Jeeves the following question: ‘How do I boil an egg’ ...
