The search results are generally presented in a list of results and are often called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web founded in 2000 2000 was a leap year that started on a Saturday, in accordance with the Gregorian Calendar. It was the 2000th year of the Common Era or the Anno Domini designation, and the last year of the 20th century and of the 2nd millennium. It was also the first century leap year since 1600 by Professor Apostolos Gerasoulis Apostolos Gerasoulis is the co-creator of Teoma, an Internet search engine that powers Ask.com. Gerasoulis is a former Professor of Computer Science at Rutgers University; he co-founded Teoma along with his colleagues at Rutgers in 2000. Gerasoulis has appeared in TV commercials for Ask.com and his colleagues at Rutgers University Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey , is the largest institution for higher education in New Jersey. It was originally chartered as Queen's College in 1766 and is the eighth-oldest college in the United States. Rutgers was originally a private university affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church and admitted only male students, but evolved in New Jersey The area was inhabited by Native Americans for more than 2,800 years, with historical tribes such as the Lenape along the coast. In the early 1600s, the Dutch and the Swedes made the first European settlements. The English later seized control of the region, naming it the Province of New Jersey. It was granted as a colony to Sir George Carteret. Professor Tao Yang Tao Yang , is an American computer scientist. Yang is the Chief Scientist and Senior Vice President of Ask.com for web search. He is also a tenured full professor in Computer Science at University of California, Santa Barbara from the University of California, Santa Barbara The University of California, Santa Barbara, commonly known as UCSB or UC Santa Barbara, is a public research university and one of the 10 general campuses of the University of California system. The main campus is located on a 1,022-acre site in Santa Barbara, California, 100 miles (160 km) northwest of Los Angeles. Founded as an independent co-led technology R&D. Their research grew out of the 1998 DiscoWeb project. The original research was published in the paper, "DiscoWeb: Applying Link Analysis to Web Search".[1]
Teoma was unique because of its link popularity algorithm. Unlike Google's PageRank PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page, used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection, Teoma's technology (Subject-Specific Popularity) analyzed links in context to rank a web page's importance within its specific subject. For instance, a web page about "baseball" would rank higher if other web pages about "baseball" link to it.
Many parts of Teoma's relevancy algorithm were based on the methodology IBM International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) is a multinational computer, technology and IT consulting corporation headquartered in Armonk, North Castle, New York, United States. IBM is the world's fourth largest technology company and the second most valuable by global brand (after Coca-Cola). IBM is one of the few information technology companies developed for its CLEVER project.
Teoma was acquired by Ask Jeeves Ask is a search engine founded in 1996 by Garrett Gruener and David Warthen in Berkeley, California. The original search engine software was implemented by Gary Chevsky from his own design. Chevsky, Justin Grant, and others built the early AskJeeves.com website around that core engine. Three venture capital firms, Highland Capital Partners, on September 11, 2001, and has powered ask.com and other international Ask Jeeves sites (such as ask.co.uk, ask.jp) and Ask Jeeves Spain since then.

The original search engine software was implemented by Gary Chevsky from his own design. Chevsky, Justin Grant, and others built the early AskJeeves.com website around that core engine.

The Teoma algorithm is now referred to by Ask.com as the ExpertRank algorithm.[3]
The official word on Teoma from Ask.com in May 2010: "We re-launched Teoma.com in mid-April 2010 to provide a simplified interface for everyday keyword web search. Teoma.com's organic results will be similar to, but not exactly the same as, those on Ask.com, primarily for testing purposes, but also to provide a more simplified search experience.
