IACI’s Ask.com Launches New Search Service

Posted: June 5, 2007 at 6:30 am

IAC/Interactive (IACI) has introduced a new version of its Ask.com search engine, Ask 3D. Aside from normal search results covering web links for a subject, the website brings back links on related subjects in the left hand column of the page. That part of the system is novel.

Putting in TheStreet.com yields the normal results one would expect from Google (GOOG) or Yahoo! (YHOO). In the left hand column are related terms including Jim Kramer (perhaps he changed the spelling of his name), and Yahoo.ca (Yahoo! Canada).

Several other searchs yielded closely related links in the left column of the page and news items in the column on the right.

Pretty good stuff.
