""The former search engine went live as AskJeeves.com in April 1997 before launching in full at the beginning of June that year.""
""The company tried to differentiate itself among competing search engines by encouraging users to frame their search queries in the form of a question.""
Ask.com, famous for its animated butler Jeeves, is shutting down its search engine operations effective May 1. The website now redirects to a farewell message expressing gratitude to the engineers, designers, and users who supported the service. InterActivCorp (IAC), the parent company, decided to cease all search operations. AskJeeves.com launched in 1997, aiming to differentiate itself by encouraging users to ask questions. IAC acquired the site in 2005, but it will now be permanently closed.
