Ask And Answer Jumps From One Link To Another Website

Just because it is becoming more and more advanced does not mean the star search engines of the Internet has ceased to slow down in confusion for even a small chunk of knowledge question. These scenarios are what Ask.

Com and Answers. Com pledged to troubleshoot to prepare more skilled answers to distressing and forthright questions about history, science, geography, pop culture and sports.

Both search engines pointed to provide a correct answer explicitly at the top of a search's first results page or with a highly placed link to a Web page that contains the information. Their expressed goal harvested disbelief, however.

Is there no limit to these search engines' knowledge? To answer my question, I performed what I may call an unscientific test to post some questions borrowed from an edition of trivial pursuit from of late. My borrowed game, Trivial Pursuit, exposed the real score about Answer.

Com and Ask. Com's advantage over the three most popular search engines, Google, yahoo and MSN.

The smartness of Ask. Com and Answers.

Com slightly exceeded that of Google, based on my findings whenever obscure questions are asked, but outran MSN and yahoo by a mile. Both answers dot com and ask dot com guided me to the correct answer, which is tektites with the first link on the results page an aptitude that both sites displayed with 10 of the 20 questions posed in the theoretical game.

The close competence that Ask. Com and Answers. Com displayed are stemming from different search styles.

The latter banks on joint Google search engine and human editors who have been reliably making sure its database are filled with more and more information by keeping an eye on resources as the days pass especially for frequently asked questions. An amount of 2 billion dollars was shelled out by an e commerce conglomerate to acquire Ask. com in order to bring it into its Web family and devise for it a fully self generated approach in fishing out for information throughout the Internet's large ocean of information

Although this task is admittedly their expertise, Answers. Com and Ask. Com predominantly forget their goal of making things as apparent as possible by shortening the correct response at the topmost part of the results page to avoid having to click a link first before proceeding to the Web site.

A succinct answer was served by Ask. Com a couple of questions out of the 20, and Answers. Com did it only when I searched for the meaning of Google.

The most asked questions in the Internet juiced out the correct answer out of a quickened journey in eight of the 20 questions, and one of those is the tektites question. The search engines found one question astoundingly impossible to be answered. Who was the first delinquent of Cuban decent to play in major league baseball? There was no hint among the participants that it was Rene, the pitcher for the Cardinals in the early 1990s.

To everyone's surprise, the participant lagging behind which was MSN was able to dust itself off with one of the questions. Name the company which was acquired out of the highest buyout recorded in history.

The topmost link on MSN's list of results accompanied me to the accurately listed Nabisco Subsidiary. Putting all eggs in the search engines' basket may definitely be detrimental because they sometimes guide us to sites giving contradicting answers.

This transpired with the highest frequency when the question on the number of viewers who watched the series ender of the TV show Mash was asked. There was a difference of almost 20 million in the answers to which their links have led us. Reiterating the words in a movie soundtrack with some of my own tweaking, still highly adorned with pain is online researching.
