SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) — Question: What well-known Internet search engine continues to lag industry leaders no matter how smart it becomes?

Answer: Ask Jeeves Inc.

The Oakland-based company on Thursday is launching its latest effort to win more fans. The hook: A new feature designed to provide more immediate answers to inquiries.

With the change, Ask Jeeves will display a “Web Answer” to many of the requests its search engine processes. For instance, if someone enters “world’s largest lake” into Ask.com’s search box, the top result will include a snippet listing the Caspian Sea, including its size and location.
…

…but not an aerial or satellite image of the location.

Google has that already……or does it?

(to get this screen shot, I first went to https://maps.google.com, selected “satellite,” then panned over to the Caspian Sea, then I put “caspian sea” in the search box, and hit search)

I expect that in the near future Google will integrate this feature…
