Ask Search Engine

Teoma has been the heart of Ask search technology since 2001. The power of the Teoma algorithm, now known as ExpertRank, makes Ask one of the world's most powerful and unique search engines. Two significant events helped develop Ask search technology.Ask's ExpertRank algorithm provides relevant search results by identifying the most authoritative sites on the Web. With Ask search technology, it's not just about who's biggest: it's about who's best. Our ExpertRank algorithm goes beyond mere link popularity (which ranks pages based on the sheer volume of links pointing to a particular page) to determine popularity among pages considered to be experts on the topic of your search. This is known as subject-specific popularity. Identifying topics (also known as "clusters"), the experts on those topics, and the popularity of millions of pages amongst those experts -- at the exact moment your search query is conducted -- requires many additional calculations that other search engines do not perform. The result is world-class relevance that often offers a unique editorial flavor compared to other search engines. Ask search technology is unique from any other search technology because it analyzes the Web as it actually exists -- in subject-specific communities. This process begins by creating a comprehensive and high-quality index. Web crawling is an essential tool for this approach, and it ensures that we have the most up-to-date search results.

Reaction: This search engine for mathematical methods and other questionable things. They are not big but they are the best,they said. Ask is not popular to all but are trying to become popular. Not of having the same services to he other search engine but having different or being unique among theme. This engine also is not after of what is new. They wanted to give searvices that is more useful to the users.
