CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

It seems as if every search engine worth its salt now has its own toolbar, and Ask Jeeves is no exception. This Internet Explorer add-on offers a feature set comparable to most of its competitors, including a pop-up blocker, a zoom tool, and a highlighter. However, like other toolbars of this ilk, this program's primary function is to facilitate easier surfing of the Ask Jeeves site and thus devotes most of its real estate to a large search box. We did appreciate the ability to change Ask Jeeves Toolbar's appearance according to our interests. For example, you can add a button for monitoring your stocks but disable the icon for checking weather. The pop-up blocker handled most common threats but proved powerless against floating ads, although we did appreciate the inclusion of a whitelist for accepting ads from certain sites. Though this toolbar is by no means an essential, frequent visitors to Ask Jeeves might as well take the plunge.

Publisher's description

From Ask Jeeves :

Ask Toolbar lets you perform a search from wherever you are on the Web. It's free to download and fits right in your browser. No matter what site you're visiting, simply go to the Ask Toolbar already in your browser, and type in your search. Additional features include map information, the latest headlines, financial stock quotes and market-performance information, weather, a dictionary, and local event listings. The toolbar is dynamically upgradable; when a new feature is added, it will automatically update to your installed version.

Version 4.0.1.1 includes more options for saving stuff and powerful build-in search history.

Talk with friends and family for free over the Internet.

Because what good is a new computer without the right software?
