I can't think of any reason why Ask would use Google. This sounds like a rumor started by a unhappy employee.

Interesting to note that others here believe as I do, that Ask's Teoma software is very good. I do not use Ask for most searches, but when I'm doing important research on the web, I always give them a try. It is most always worthwhile.

The web needs several good search engines with different ways of looking at the world.
