...ownership and leadership"now feels like its best days are behind it.

Of course, Im just one person and enough people still use Ask.com that the search engine has unveiled a database of 300 million Q&A pairs for searchers in the US and UK.

The result is a Q&A database that is fine-tuned to give consumers the best answer, the first time, every time through streamlined, localized, concise results to their questions. For example, the question "How do I train a puppy?" yields in-depth answers with step-by-step instructions from a series of diverse and authoritative sources across the web " giving Ask.com searchers a selection of options and resources they can use to take action. Ask.coms unique Q&A results also are injected and blended into standard web search results pages.

Of course, Ask.com used to be the place where you went, when you wanted a precise answer. Then it tried too hard to be like Google, and now, its back to being a Q&A site just as every other search engine is focused on bringing you defined answers in your search results.
