Ask Jeeves Shuts Down
As IAC continues to sharpen its focus, we have made the decision to discontinue our search business, which includes Ask.com. After 30 years of answering the world's questions, Ask.com officially closed on May 1, 2026.
Courtesy of the Internet archive, the image above is from the 1996 beta. This is what Ask Jeeves looked like after the public launch on June 1, 1997.
