Hoover's coverage by Amy Schein

Overview

Ask and you shall receive, especially when it comes to the Internet. Ask.com (formerly Ask Jeeves) operates an online question-and-answer service. The site solicits users to ask questions, as well as answer questions from other users. Results reveal answers from a variety of sources. Previously the operator of a search engine, Ask.com switched gears in 2010. While it still offers search on its site, it no longer compiles an index of billions of Web pages. Instead, it delivers results via an agreement with search partner Google. Ask.com operates alongside websites such as CityGrid Media's Citysearch.com and Lexico Publishing Group's Dictionary.com as part of the Search holdings of IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC).
