Especially the author of this “news” didn’t notice anything.
https://www.askjeeves.com/ is still working btw
It’s no wonder it’s dead/dying. I’ve been searching for something on Google, DDG, and Kagi this morning. I just tried it on Ask and it was by far the worst results. Not relevant by miles.
Yes, these would be bad results for a search engine in 2000, and are laughably bad today
Did they shut down ask and forgot askjeeves on the way out?
I swear I read the same headline a while ago.

It wasn’t working yesterday (I checked it)
Crazy when they could’ve pulled a comeback with an AI wrapper.
Of all the search engines, Jeeves makes me the most sense as an LLM chatbot. It was already personified
Now it’s more askn’t Jeeves
