ask logo Ask.com out with updatesAsk.com, previously Ask Jeeves, is coming out with updates that will supposedly up the user-experience. The search engine is joining the rest of the league with providing better services. One such major update is that it has redesigned its search results. When you Ask a question, the algorithms will try to give you an answer in the result pages, not just the regular link to a relevant website.

Turning back to the times of Ask Jeeves, Ask.com president Scott Garrell stated that the search results were hand-crafted, and now they’re generated by the engine.

More updates such as a Q&A pairs; more structured data in search results; faster, accurate and organized service; parsing search results instead of just displaying them in a list; and displaying answers instead of just links, all these would definitely bring about a welcome change to the search engine.

Here are a couple of grabs of the results page:
