Ask Jeeves tries to go after more of the 3.9 billion searches/month

Interesting to see the numbers in the search market in this InternetNews.com story:

In Ask Jeeves (Quote, Company Info) CEO Skip Battle's favorite metaphor, his company is offering Web searchers tea to Google's coffee. While other search sites try to beat Google by brewing a better flavor of coffee, Ask Jeeves has a natty British butler brewing up an alternative.

...According to comScore Media Metrix's qSearch service, Ask Jeeves garnered just 3 percent of the 3.9 billion searches done in April. In contrast, Yahoo! racked up 31 percent and Google 29 percent.
