Ask has new Desktop Search

Posted: November 5, 2005

Found via the Ask Blog.

Desktop search has been hot for quite some time.

Control the desktop, control the online experience.

Control the information retrieval, control the information.

These seem to be some of the mantras behind the plethora of desktop search offerings by Google, MSN, and Yahoo.

Ask joins the fray with an upgrade to their desktop search.

Quite a list of new improvements in this release.

Ask’s new management seems to keep them rolling out new features. I’m sure some of them are really for internal use, but why not give those to the public as well to increase user share? Seems to be the way their operating these days, but competition can only be good for the end user.
