A9 For Porn, Jeeves Just For You
Two little bits on two search engines, courtesy of Search Engine Lowdown.

First, A9's image search, which anyways runs off Google Images, shows porn. Now, this is perfectly normal, since Google Images is an excellent source of free porn. But the fact is, even with the explicit images filter turned on, porn still shows up. Try searching for "Frontpage SEO", and you get to see a fully naked short woman. Is this a problem with the engine, or added value? You decide.

Also, the new Ask Jeeves is coming tomorrow. SELowdown knows the score on Jeeves big news (look for lots of personalization from a new "My Jeeves" feature), but are deferring to Jeeves' wishes to keep it under wraps for one more day. With A9 and this, September has been a big month for search (including Google, which is now up to $119.36).
