The new gimmick that most search engines are beginning to offer are Instant Answers. Google has for some time offered News results for household names such as Microsoft (as per image). But search engines like Microsoft’s new Live.com, go one step further.

Try it for yourself, a search in Live.com for “Marketing Definition” gives you a definition stating “selling of products or services”.

If you’re a NFL fan, you can also use Live.com to gain access to the last scores in your favourite competition. Try this >> NFL 10/8. Unfortunately, they haven’t offered a similar service for the premiership yet!

Another nice feature of Instant answers is getting instant access to some useful information…. try this “Population of Ireland” .

There are many more nice features like this, so if you have time, PLAY!!!

Ask.com is another search engine that provides an interesting Instant Answers service. A search for “History of Ireland” gives you a short description of Ireland’s history and links to other areas of Irish interest.

Who need’s other websites when all the answers are provided by the search engines?
