The only information I could find.....

Where's Jeeves?
After ten years of dutifully helping kids answer questions for their homework, learn more about their world, or to just be able help them answer the eternal "Why?" Jeeves decided his work was done.

Why? Kids are smart, and they catch on fast -- especially about how to use technology. The need for an "at-your-service" butler wasn't as important as kids came to the site to do more than just ask questions. They wanted a search engine that would allow them to to search and experience as much of the Web as possible. It's their learning and entertainment hub!

So, Ask for Kids focused on modernizing its search engine technology, and giving kids tools that would make their searches experience better and more satisfying. Today, our mission is to help kids find what they need through an exciting, ever-changing web. No matter what a kid's imagination can dream up, Ask for Kids is committed to meeting their challenge, and making it the best search engine for them.

Here's to Ask for Kids - the most demanding, inquisitive searchers of all.
