Ask.com launched
Ask X, a site that mixes different specialized searches and uses AJAX to show search results faster. Similar to Google's
SearchMash,
Ask shows image search results, news, blog posts in a right sidebar.
But unlike SearchMash, Ask actually shows those results and doesn't wait
for you to expand the sections. Another good choice is displaying only
results from search types connected to the query. Ask X shows search
suggestions and refinements in a new sidebar, displayed on the left side
of the screen, that remains always visible.
The
trouble with this kind of mashups is that pages load slower and may
look cluttered. But if search result pages provide the right balance
between web pages and additional information, you'll get a wider
perspective. In 2007, search engines will move towards one interface
that mixes specialized searches.
