Sorry, Jeeves: Ask.com shuts down search after nearly 30 years
""We are deeply grateful to the brilliant engineers, designers, and teams who built and supported Ask over the decades. And to you-the millions of users who turned to us for answers in a rapidly changing world-thank you for your endless curiosity, your loyalty, and your trust.""
""Jeeves' spirit endures.""
""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 announced the shutdown of its search engine operations effective May 1. The website now redirects to a farewell message expressing gratitude to users and the teams behind the service. AskJeeves.com launched in 1997, aiming to differentiate itself by encouraging users to ask questions. IAC, the parent company, has decided to close the service entirely, thanking millions of users for their loyalty and curiosity over the years. The company is known for owning other brands like AllRecipes and Better Homes and Gardens.
