Ask Jeeves Adds Date & Time to Search Caching

Ask Jeeves may be tweaking their Teoma powered search engine indexing a bit this week as Gary Price of SEW Blog noticed that the Date & Time of cached pages in Ask are now being shown.

I was doing some searching with Ask Jeeves today and noticed that that cached pages that Jeeves includes in its database now include the date and time (to the second) the page was last cached by the AJ crawler. Look for it in the box at the top of cached pages.

Although I’m not 100% sure if this is a new feature (I’ll check), I haven’t noticed it before. AJ began offering cached versions of some content in late 2004

Gary as usual finds a way to make this finding more interesting that a post about cached pages in Ask Jeeves would usually be by adding a timeline of sorts on date stamps & caching, bringing some of his ResourceShelf juice over to Search Engine Watch.
