Ask.com Introduces TV Listings to Search Results!

Via the Ask's Official Blog, Ask.com has announced that it will now be adding television program listings to its search engine result pages or SERPS.

According to Ask, “Our Ask TV listings uses our patent-pending technology DADS (Direct Answers from Databases) to answer queries and questions from structured data feeds and databases. DADS provides highly accurate answers to queries which are relevant to a given topic. Instead of using traditional keyword search algorithms, our technology can deliver much deeper, more precise search results based on understanding of a query meaning rather than syntactical text matching.

Ask TV answers queries ranging from "when is sports on tv this weekend" or "horror movies tonight" to "lindsay lohan on tv". Covering nearly 10,000 distinct stations and over 100,000 shows, our information is updated daily — and it can be personalized and customized to any location and cable provider in the USA.”

As of now, this service is only available to the users in the United States, still, Ask TV search produces commendable results covering 10,000 television stations and over 100,000 shows.
