Ask.com is a search engine, originally called "Ask Jeeves".
Subject-specific Blocking
As of January 2018, the site only offered 40 hits for the search term "Dutroux affair".[1][2] None of these was the ISGP site, which was in the top 10 for Yahoo[3], Bing[4], DuckDuckGo[5], Yandex[6] and Gigablast[7]. The page however is indexed, since a search on "Dutroux affair ISGP" yielded it as the #3 hit.[8] Ask.com seems therefore to have blocked the page for this search term (as did Google and StartPage who did not list it in the top 100 hits).
