Ask launches new search tool

Ask Jeeves UK has launched several new Smart Answer units, providing direct responses to popular reference-based searches.

Geography, planets, the periodic table, dog breeds and famous quotes are some of the new categories, giving users the most relevant information straight to the top of the page.

Each Smart Answer unit contains hand-picked, relevant links to deliver the information the user is trying to find.

The Smart Answers section includes:

Planets - searches for any of the planets in our solar system return in-depth facts along with links to NASA’s planetary fact sheets, an Ask Jeeves picture search and historical and scientific information.

Periodic Table and Chemical Elements - searches for the periodic table or any element links to webelements.com and other key facts.

Dog Breeds - searches for breeds link to dog breeders and picture galleries.
