Ask.com have launched a new AJAX-based edition of its search engine Ask X. The speed is pretty good, except for results that return more advanced details for example is you search for a country for example Tunisia, a preview of the country is displayed in the top page followed by other results, while the right panel will show you images from that country, the forecast, dictionary, current time, and an excerpt from Wikipedia. There is also an advanced search for images videos, news, blogs, shopping, ... etc. The page is overall divided into three sections :

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


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


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