Ask.com

Ask.com launches a revamped Web search site that features new technology and an updated design. The site is divided into three parts, with the ability to narrow or expand a search and see related results on the left side, the main Web search results in the center, and related results from images, video, news and other types of listings on the right. rnrn

Hovering the cursor over images enlarges them, while hovering over video will play it in the thumbnail. Clicking on certain audio links plays a 30-second clip. Click on any photo to get a full-sized view.rnrn
