A Different Search Engine for the Internet.

www.ask.com

The main difference between google.com and ask.com is that when you search you phrase your search like a question.  Here are two examples of searching.

1. Click Start. 
2. Click Internet Explorer. 
3. Click once in the address bar of Internet Explorer. 
4. When I click once the address turns blue. 
5. Press the backspace key to delete the current address.
6. Now type in ask.com. 
7. Press Enter.
8. This is what ask.com looks like. 
9. When you want to search for something put in the form of a question.  For example: How do I make meatloaf.
10. As you begin typing you will be giving things to search for.
11. If you notice I didn't finish typing meatloaf.  The website gave me choices to choose from.
12. When I find the one I like I can click it. 
13. I clicked the first one.
14. When you given the search results you must be aware of the "Sponsored Results."  These are the advertisements.
15. Sponsored Results are shaded in a light blue.  They look like this.
16. Sponsored Results will normally have something to sell you.  The links can be good but I usually don't go to them.
