Particularly with the third column loading. Hopefully that's something they can improve on because in my opinion, the speed will either make or break them.

I tried some real searches for stuff I was looking for today on both Ask and Google, and Ask either provided similar results or better. I think I'll give it a try for a few days.[/quote] You know...I had the same exact idea yesterday...I figured "Why not give it a try?"...I even like how you can have up to 100 search results on a page. That's huge! One problem though with Ask...speed...Google has them beat. You have to wait a bit for Ask results...and over time, with the amount of searches I do, those seconds add up. If Ask catches up on speed, I'll surely be back. [quote comment="97816"]

The results page looks a hell of a lot like Google!
