You actually don’t. Askjeeves.com is still there. Is it the same service run by the same people? I have no idea. But you can roll around in nostalgia all you like.
Holy shit! Search and you get this type of thing as the results.
As far as I can tell, it’s just Google Search without the bullshit, them having punted to a branded version of Google instead of maintaining their own DB. That’s… actually remarkably useful. I think I will still use DDG but just the idea of using a search engine that’s too unpopular for anyone to want to garbage-ify seems very compelling.

It still exists but it’s a content mill. Try a search and the results are all from domains they own.

That’s .net though, the original is https://www.askjeeves.com/ which still exists and is garbage.
.net uses that custom Google search that’s usually used for searching on a specific site. https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/
Oh, Jesus. Yeah, that’s bad.
Having to depend on it is the nostalgia, IMO.
