Ask Jeeves Adds New Features

News.com reports that Ask Jeeves has added new features to its search engine including a feature called Zoom that lets users zoom in on search results to get to more specific subjects:

One new feature builds on Ask Jeeves' long-standing clustering technology, which parses search results into concepts or ideas related to any given query. Called Zoom, the new feature lets people narrow or broaden the field of search results, as well as view results for related concepts. For example, for a search on the term "cancer," visitors can narrow it to types of the disease, or they could expand it to related illnesses.

Another one of Ask Jeeves plans is to launch a major blog search engine sometime this summer through their Bloglines division. BloggersBlog.com has more on the Bloglines search engine.
