According to the recent survey conducted by americans.There is 31% growth in search query!! since last year and around 13% of the search is made through toolbar.
No doubt there will increase in searches through toolbars more now.Its easier and more conv.I use it mostly combining the tab feature and then using the toolbar to do it.Its faster.

• Google 45.1%
• Yahoo 28.1%
• MSN 11.9%
• Ask 05.4%

What really differentiates Ask from Google?Ask.com technology “looks at the Web differently”. Whereas Google’s PageRank ranks its search results by popularity, Ask has something it calls “ExpertRank”. Essentially this is an automated search algorithm (like Google has), but on top of that results are ordered using topic communities and the editorial functions that create ‘Smart Answers’. While the ExpertRank formula is a secret sauce that Ask.com won’t divulge, they do say that the top results in searches are determined by expertise - and not popularity.

“Identifying topics (also known as “clusters”), the experts on those topics, and the popularity of millions of pages amongst those experts — at the exact moment your search query is conducted — requires many additional calculations that other search engines do not perform.”
