Ask.com Relaunches

A few months ago, I blogged about a beta search engine, Askx.com, a creation of Ask.com, which furnished "all-in-one" search results on one screen.  Instead of running separate searches for web, video, blog, image, or news content, users could use Askx.com to run one search and get results on one screen for all of these categories. 

Askx.com was apparently a success for Ask.com, because the company announced recently that all Ask.com searches will now incorporate this "all-in-one" approach.  Yea!  For an example of how these new results look, check out this search for information about "Alberto Gonzales."  Note that you get some handy suggestions for narrowing or broadening your search in the left-hand panel, web results in the center panel, and image, video, Wikipedia, and news results in the right-hand panel.  If you click on "more" on the top left of the screen, you can find blog search results as well.  Very useful when you're researching breaking legal news!
