Remembering ask.com this cold, winter morning in 2024. The ask.com of old. The one my middle school, autistic kid self spent hours on, going down research rabbit holes. Learning about whatever piqued my interest or whatever question I had that started it all. Then I remember its shift from search engine to q&a community. And it either died or I stopped using it, I can't recall which came first.

Search Engines Other Than Google

Search Engines Other Than Google

The whole Bing de-listing thing got me thinking about search engines, which is not something I put my mind to all that often.  We live in a world where there is Google and then there is everything else.  In the west at least, Google dominates to such an extent that barely anything else counts.  I lost Bing traffic, but in the grand scheme of things, did it matter much? Bing stats running into…

Something I've been thinking about ever since the first sign that Twitter was gonna be run into the ground is that a lot of people are (reasonably) concerned that the loss of Twitter is gonna mean the loss of a centralized platform that would allow for virtually anyone to grow a massive following of people who like what they do, and leverage that to make money doing the things they love.

Again, this isn't unreasonable, but I think maybe there are some things to consider before going all doom and gloom about it.

First, and most importantly, while we're all used to relying on centralized social media sites for discovering new things now, I think we need to remember that MANY of the independent media organizations you know of today, namely Dropout (made of former members of College Humor, a popular media production group from the 2010s), RocketJump, or RoosterTeeth? All of them and more got started way before Twitter was the prevalent social media. Basically anyone who's been making primarily web-based content since ~2014 or earlier has been around since before Twitter was the prevalent social media. Some of them got a boost from Facebook, but Pre-Timeline Facebook wasn't some shitty walled garden either, and Facebook's enshittification wasn't really complete until around 2015, with the Pivot to Video scam. The web was still a pretty open and explorable place up to that point in time. People were still discovered all the time, even with small followings, because they knew of a WAY easier game to play than the algorithm game: Search Engine Optimization, the idea that if your webpage contains all the right keywords, it's likely to end up in the first two pages of someone's Google search. Or, if you go back to a pre-2010 world, their Bing search, or their Yahoo search, or their Ask.com question. The point is, if social media as many of you know it ceased to exist tomorrow, the world wide web has a vast series of tools that many have forgotten in the last 8 years, but haven't actually gone anywhere. In fact, some have improved while nobody was looking. (like RSS. You know, the thing podcasts use? Yeah, it lets you push and pull basically any kind of web-friendly data you can imagine to any source that takes the format, including a basic-ass free Wordpress or Neocities webpage. You can even pull your Tumblr! And there are way more resources to help you maximize your use of them, now!)

I had more but I'll have to come back to it later because I had way more to say about the first point alone than I anticipated.

I made a list of all the browsers I could find for Windows (there are 168 on the list) and as many search engines as I could find (112) and I'm going to try a random one per week, but now I have to come up with interesting searches to test them. They have to be specific and frustrating to search for on Google, but with a lot of material definitely existing on it.

Also here's the link to the google docs if you want, it just has the names in alphabetical order right now, but I'll add download links and summaries of them if I have time.

BTW I can't guarantee these all still exist or are available in English. Also some of them are for very specific things.

[ammg-old2]

It was a simpler time. A friend introduced us, pulling up a static yellow webpage using a shaky dial-up modem. A man stood forth, dressed in a dapper black pinstriped suit with a red-accented tie. He held one hand out, as if carrying an imaginary waiter’s tray. He looked regal and confident and eminently at my service. “Have a Question?” he beckoned. “Just type it in and click Ask!” And ask, I did. Over and over.

With his steady hand, Jeeves helped me make sense of the tangled mess of the early, pre-Google internet. He wasn’t perfect—plenty of context got lost between my inquiries and his responses. Still, my 11-year-old brain always delighted in the idea of a well-coiffed man chauffeuring me down the information superhighway. But things changed. Google arrived, with its clean design and almost magic ability to deliver exactly the answers I wanted. Jeeves and I grew apart. Eventually, in 2006, Ask Jeeves disappeared from the internet altogether and was replaced with the more generic Ask.com.

Many years later, it seems I owe Jeeves an apology: He had the right idea all along. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence and the stunning popularity of generative-text tools such as ChatGPT, today’s search-engine giants are making huge bets on AI search chatbots. In February, Microsoft revealed its Bing Chatbot, which has thrilled and frightened early users for its ability to scour the internet and answer questions (not always correctly) with convincingly human-sounding language. The same week, Google demoed Bard, the company’s forthcoming attempt at an AI-powered chat-search product. But for all the hype, when I stare at these new chatbots, I can’t help but see the faint reflection of my former besuited internet manservant. In a sense, Bing and Bard are finishing what Ask Jeeves started. What people want when they ask a question is for an all-knowing, machine-powered guide to confidently present them with the right answer in plain language, just as a reliable friend would.

With this in mind, I decided to go back to the source. More than a decade after parting ways, I found myself on the phone with one of the men behind the machine, getting as close to Asking Jeeves as is humanly possible. These days, Garrett Gruener, Ask Jeeves’s co-creator, is a venture capitalist in the Bay Area. He and his former business partner David Warthen eventually sold Ask Jeeves to Barry Diller and IAC for just under $2 billion. Still, I wondered if Gruener had been unsettled by Jeeves’s demise. Did he, like me, see the new chatbots as the final form of his original idea? Did he feel vindicated or haunted by the fact that his creation may have simply been born far too early?

The original conception for Jeeves, Gruener told me, was remarkably similar to what Microsoft and Google are trying to build today. As a student at UC San Diego in the mid-1970s, Gruener—a sci-fi aficionado—got an early glimpse of ARPANET, the pre-browser predecessor to the commercial internet, and fell in love. Just over a decade later, as the web grew and the beginnings of the internet came into view, Gruener realized that people would need a way to find things in the morass of semiconnected servers and networks. “It became clear that the web needed search but that mere mortals without computer-science degrees needed something easy, even conversational,” he said. Inspired by Eliza, the famous chatbot designed by MIT’s Joseph Weizenbaum, Gruener dreamed of a search engine that could converse with people using natural-language processing. Unfortunately, the technology wasn’t sophisticated enough for Gruener to create his ideal conversational search bot.

So Gruener and Warthen tried a work-around. Their code allowed a user to write a statement in English, which was then matched to a preprogrammed vector, which Gruener explained to me as “a canonical snapshot of answers to what the engine thought you were trying to say.” Essentially, they taught the machine to recognize certain words and provide really broad categorical answers. “If you were looking for population stats for a country, the query would see all your words and associated variables and go, Well, this Boolean search seems close, so it’s probably this.” Jeeves would provide the answer, and then you could clarify whether it worked or not.

“We tried to discern what people were trying to say in search, but without actually doing the natural-recognition part of it,” Gruener said. After some brainstorming, they realized that they were essentially building a butler. One of Gruener’s friends mocked up a drawing of the friendly servant, and Jeeves was born.

Pre-Google, Ask Jeeves exploded in popularity, largely because it allowed people to talk with their search engine like a person. Within just two years, the site was handling more than 1 million queries a day. A massive Jeeves balloon floated down Central Park West during Macy’s 1999 Thanksgiving parade. But not long after the butler achieved buoyancy, the site started to lose ground in the search wars. Google’s web-crawling superiority led to hard times for Ask Jeeves. “None of us were very concerned about monetization in the beginning,” Gruener told me. “Everyone in search early on realized, if you got this right, you’d essentially be in the position of being the oracle. If you could be the company to go to in order to ask questions online, you’re going to be paid handsomely.”

Gruener isn’t bitter about losing out to Google. “If anything, I’m really proud of our Jeeves,” he told me. Listening to Gruener explain the history, it’s not hard to see why. In the mid-2000s, Google began to pivot search away from offering only 10 blue links to images, news, maps, and shopping. Eventually, the company began to fulfill parts of the Jeeves promise of answering questions with answer boxes. One way to look at the evolution of big search engines in the 21st century is that all companies are trying their best to create their own intuitive search butlers. Gruener told me that Ask Jeeves’s master plan had two phases, though the company was sold before it could tackle the second. Gruener had hoped that, eventually, Jeeves could act as a digital concierge for users. He’d hoped to employ the same vector technology to get people to ask questions and allow Jeeves to make educated guesses and help users complete all kinds of tasks. “If you look at Amazon’s Alexa, they’re essentially using the same approach we designed for Jeeves, just with voice,” Gruener said. Yesterday’s butler has been rebranded as today’s virtual assistant, and the technology is ubiquitous in many of our home devices and phones. “We were right for the consumer back then, and maybe we’d be right now. But at some point the consumer evolved,” he said.

I’ve been fixated on what might’ve been if Gruener’s vision had come about now. We might all be Jeevesing about the internet for answers to our mundane questions. Perhaps our Jeevesmail inboxes would be overflowing and we’d be getting turn-by-turn directions from an Oxford-educated man with a stiff English accent. Perhaps we’d all be much better off.

Gruener told me about an encounter he’d had during the search wars with one of Google’s founders at a TED conference (he wouldn’t specify which of the two). “I told him that we’re going to learn an enormous amount about the people who are using our platforms, especially as they become more conversational. And I said that it was a potentially dangerous position,” he said. “But he didn’t seem very receptive to my concerns.”

Near the end of our call, I offered an apology for deserting Jeeves like everyone else did. Gruener just laughed. “I find this future fascinating and, if I’m honest, a little validating,” he said. “It’s like, ultimately, as the tech has come around, the big guys have come around to what we were trying to do.”

[1000punks]

(For the OC/Creator ask. I tried to limit myself. Feel free to only answer some of these if I went overboard alskdjfal) 1 4 5 7 20 28 38? aaaand A?

oh golly okay these are gonna be for Festé. 1. probably 0 time, even when Festé is sitting, they want to be doing something productive with their hands- they're the type to go chop wood or some shit when they're bored/idle. very much a putterer

4. it's not easy to earn their trust, though they're not unkind about it. they try to keep people at arm's reach (gently) until they're sure about them

5. i would say fairly easy to earn their mistrust if you're any of these things: openly manipulative, dishonest without reason, hard to read, or just a straight up liar like, to give an example: they're totally okay with raphael because while he IS evil, he is not a liar. they're not okay with someone like mizora because of her purposeful avoidance of telling the entire truth, and her very public stunt with wyll in camp. they're okay with astarion because while he IS dishonest, it's not without reason- they can relate to wanting to hide certain aspects of one's past/trauma until the right person comes along to open up to. and star, for being a charlatan, isn't very hard for Festé to read. snorts oh, and they're not okay with the emperor, why would someone go to such great lengths to help a party of misfits and then be like "well if you don't do what i want, i'm gonna go join the elder brain >:c " fucking manipulative dick. eat me, emperor. Festé killed the shit out of him and enjoyed it.

7. dungeon diving! without going too much into their backstory (because it'll be detailed in upcoming chapters of bonding.), they used to be an up-and-coming (and quite talented) thief, not unlike nine-fingers keene in her early days with the Guild (obviously they had a career change since then) but! they love shiny treasure - especially weapons - and they hoard it like a dragon it's neither comfortable nor uncomfortable for them, it's just something they "Hm. I like this knife. :3 " also, pork roast. it reminds them of family dinners of yore. (they, surprisingly, had a pretty well-adjusted childhood, their parents passed away of old age in their late teens) 20. romantic: "I'd put my life in your hands, even if it's you holding the dagger to my throat." platonic: "I will listen to you until there's nothing left to say." familial: "Your home is always here, and you're welcome no matter how long it's been since you left."

28. absolutely not. they prefer the truth in every situation, even if it's messy, to their detriment, or puts their safety at risk. it doesn't matter how hard it is, how damaging, etc. always the truth.

38. their parents' funerals. they visit their graves as often as possible, usually with a home-cooked (or camp-cooked) meal and eat and drink. the moment in their life where they started running. i will not elaborate, you gotta read the backstory fic.

A. i love Festé because we're the most alike. hahahah that's pretty much it. what excites me most about them though, is they can look back on their life, even with all of the bad things that they've been through, and still laugh. sometimes that's their only coping mechanism, is to find the humour of the situation and try to focus on that. they also have this uncanny ability to soften and soothe the people that are closest to them. i love characters like that, ones who can look into the face of something monstrous and empathize.

#oc: festé #ask.com #i just want to clarify too: festé is TN/CN #and istg the stunt with mizora had them cocking a gun like “heeeeelll nawh” #the emperor though? fuckin- as a player i was so goddamned frustrated with that fight i was SO FUCKING MAD #i finally just sent festé in there with raphael's armour and they killed him in two turns with little more than their trusty swords #and if they could have teabagged his dead body they would have

When you want to be productive and not spend your day in rabbit holes, but the info you want is not easy access.

Me: Hmmm.... How late can I have a character claim a whale is a fish without looking ignorant? I mean, I personally know people who claim fish aren't animals and won't hear otherwise, but that is not the standard and everyone else looks sideways at them. Very sideways.

Google: Science had soundly agreed that whales were mammals by the 1800s, but the general public hadn't caught on.

Me: Okay. When did the public catch on.

Google: Wouldn't you like to know?

Me: Right. My bad. Ask.com?

Ask: Not talking to you right now. Try back later.

Me: Seriously?

Ask: Seriously.

Me: ... ... ... Duck Duck Go?

DDG: DO YOU WANT TO KNOW ALL ABOUT EVOLUTION AND HOW WHALES BECAME MAMMALS AND LIVED IN THE SEA RATHER THAN WALKING ON LAND IT'S SUPER INTERESTING AND....

Me: While I agree that it's interesting, it is not, in fact, what I want to know!
