Following up on my previous post using ASK instead of Google had me nearly tearing my hair out. It was incredibly difficult it just doesn't feel right and so many times I found myself getting frustrated and going straight back to Google as though my whole mind had been conditioned to using it anything else seemed completely alien to me. Ask had some nice features where you could narrow down your search on the right side of the screen using a faceted style navigation. Now don't get me wrong ASK was good at getting to the results it had but I found that were I was searching for a term on ASK there would be only one page of results barely 8 while on Google there would be more than 2 pages. You suddenly started to pickup on the scale of Google in comparison to ASK. It isn't just that Google is famous for returning the results you want but that it actually has a hell of a lot of information behind it. Personally though I found ASK was better at finding the results it actually had for you than Google. Maybe this is because ASK has a smaller search index and therefore less noise to get through that Google?
