Ask Jeeves trials image preview function
15 June 2004
Search engine, Ask Jeeves, is conducting trials of a new search preview feature offering searchers a graphical illustration of their results.
Search result pages reflecting the trial feature were discovered by Andy Beal, VP of search marketing for WebSourced and editor of search-focused blog Search Engine Lowdown.
According to reports, an Ask Jeeves screen grab posted on Beal's blog reveals a page of search results in which a tiny set of binoculars appears next to each link.
Moving over the binoculars causes the activation of an image preview of the link page.
Commenting on the rumours an Ask Jeeves spokesperson said: "In the normal course of product development, Ask Jeeves tests products with a limited number of users from time to time."
"Andy simply stumbled across one of these tests, but we have no product announcements in this regard at this time."
