Internet searches personalised by JeevesPosted 21/09/2004
The third largest US Internet search provider has launched a new product to help users personalise searches.
Ask Jeeves has launched a new service which it claims will make searching the Internet far easier and quicker for users.
In an attempt to gain ground on industry leaders Yahoo and Google, the creation of MyJeeves will enable searchers to compile search queries and results which can be saved, sorted into folders, annotated and even shared.
Jim Lanzone, senior vice president of search properties at Ask Jeeves described the new product as "creating your own personal Web".
MyJeeves comes amid intense competition between search engine providers seeking to provide better results for consumers who can then be targeted with advertising.
Online retailer Amazon.com recently launched its new service, enabling users to keep track of past searches so as to help them search better.
