MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: Win98/NT/2000/ME/XP, Internet Explorer 5.0+. COMMENT: Not satisfied with Google or Yahoo! toolbars? Ask Jeeves offers a similar service. So similar we decided to make some comparisons between Google and Jeeves. Because searching is probably the most popular toolbar sport, we posed a series of questions to both. We used questions (with a "?") in each because that's the traditional format for contender Jeeves. Overall, Google provided more targeted responses. Examples: Q: How do I make a ham sandwich? Jeeves: we don't live in vain if we can make someone happy Goggle: How to Make a Ham Sandwich Q: How tall is Kobe Bryant? Jeeves: Forever Collectibles LA Lakers Kobe Bryant 2003 All-Star Bobble Head Google: Kobe Bryant - Cardboard Standups 6' 7 Tall - Cardboard Standups ... Q: What TV network is fair and balanced?

It blocked out "Kama Sutra," "pornography," "syphilis," "panty raid," "making out." We don't quite know what's to keep those same kids from going back to a full Jeeves search. The dictionary link takes you directly to Mirriam-Webster. No sense in reinventing the wheel. Jeeves "Search Market" allows you to keep an eye on five assets. Should your portfolio be more diversified you'll need to go elsewhere. "Search News" provides current headlines from a variety of sources. The highlighter button does not permit you to highlight anything. Rather, it colors your search terms as they're located, each in a different color. Why? We're not really sure. Other choices, "Search Weather," "Search Events," "Get Map," "Email this page to a friend," "Zoom," all seem self-evident. Jeeves' help pages are comprehensive and easily understood.

Otherwise, we'd stick with Google. For now.
