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).

Many thanks to our Patrons who cover ~2/3 of our hosting bill. Please join them if you can.
