Search engine Ask.com has launched a new site design. When you first navigate to the website, you'll see a clean page with a search bar and a couple of icons representing different types of searches (web, images, city, news, blogs, etc). It's a bit like Google, if Google had icons next to its search types.

But once you enter a search term, things are very different. First off, if you pause for a second after typing your term, suggestions will pop up. For example, when you start to write "download sq," Ask will recommend "download squad."

When you get to the results page, you can preview listings by scrolling your mouse over the binoculars button. Or you can click the + button to bookmark a page if you register for an account.

Account holders can also customize their results by selecting locations or setting up filters. You can also modify the start page with skins. Right now, that means choosing from a list of images, but TechCrunch reports you'll eventually be able to upload your own images.
