[silk] only one alternative? (was has the time come to move away from google?)

[Giancarlo Livraghi]

If I may... one more question.

If bing is microsoft ("out of the frying pan into the fire") is ask the 
only worthwhile alternative to google?

(I am doing my best to stay away from yahoo.)

I haven't quite figured out, so far, what ask is and how it works. It 
seems to be related to excite... some sort of  revival of an old 
pre-google search engine?

Any words of wisdom?
