## Description

Ask.com was an online search brand that spent 30 years helping people find answers to their questions. Its service centered on search and question answering, serving millions of users who relied on it for information in a rapidly changing world. The brand’s history was closely associated with curiosity and the effort to make answers accessible, while its engineers, designers, and other teams built and supported the service over the decades. Ask.com was part of IAC’s search business. As IAC sharpened its focus, it decided to discontinue that business, and Ask.com officially closed on May 1, 2026. The closure marked the end of three decades of operation, but the farewell message emphasized gratitude to the users and teams who contributed to the brand’s story. Ask.com no longer provides search services. Its legacy, described by the company as the enduring spirit of Jeeves, reflects its long-standing role in answering users’ questions and encouraging curiosity.
