Ask Jeeves UK who provides results

this just bugs me.

Looking at Ask jeeves UK site I try to work out where they actually get their results from it doesn't appear to be obvious.

There are a lot of affiliate type deals offfering auctions and price comparisons but they are not really of any great interest.

There are also the secondary reuslts from Espotting, Overture, Mirago and Direct Hit but where does that main block of results come from?

At the moment from what I can see it looks like it is Espotting providing the top 3 results with direct hit filling the rest of the web site slots.

Any other input welcomed

The top 3 results are Espotting SERPs. From then on the results are the Ask/Directhit database and the Teoma database.

I haven't yet seen any Teoma on the ask.co.uk site.
