If you had a question in the late 1990s, what internet person did you ask? Alfred Hobson Jeeves Benson ******** Answer: Launched in 1997, Ask Jeeves was a character-driven search engine that could “answer” questions asked in normal human speech. "Jeeves" was a "gentleman's personal gentleman" that would fetch the answer to any question asked. The character was named after Jeeves, Bertie Wooster's valet in the fictional works of P. G. Wodehouse. Although popular upon its launch, the search engine fell victim to the rise of Google, which launched a year later. In February 2006, Jeeves was removed from Ask Jeeves and the search engine rebranded to Ask.com.
