Ask Jeeves testing out new interface Askx.com



Thanks for stumbling upon Ask X, our double-secret sandbox for testing Ask experiences of the future.
In today's version of Ask X, you're not just getting back a list of links, but a slick, new three-panel interface (much like the new AskCity), combining great time-saving features like:

Left: A search control panel that stays with you, complete with Zoom Related Search and Search Suggestions that update as you type.

Middle: Results front and center to provide clutter-free information without having to scroll down the page, and Binoculars to preview results.

Right: A preview of other types of search results, including video, news, images, blogs, shopping, encyclopedia and more.

About Ask X

The Ask City, map allows the easy addition of Text, drawing etc..

It's a different world. Actually ran into a "try again" type message because they were "too busy" to process my request.

Interesting problem I guess.

I like the function but hate the color scheme - red and blue doesn't work for me, couple this with the arial font and the page looks very old fashioned, which is a shame because it could look much, much better.

if the powers that be were to change the way ask looks, i might use it more.

An color blind user may have a hard time as well.

I think the font size could be a bit smaller.
