Ask Jeeves unveils a personalized search

Here is the new AskJeeves personalized search. It looks interesting and I haven't had much time to look at it yet, but I do want to give it a thorough test. What's nice about this isn't that they're indexing your computer and extracting trends you have in search, instead they are letting you save search history which would also include notes and this is all a part of MyJeeves. I like this much better than the other of personalized search, because although they do know about you search habits, it doesn't index your hard drive to extract data or trends. It simply is a way to organize you search history.

These are the two directions of personalized search, one which focuses on search history and the more intrusive indexing of everything you have. Which will win, I think something like the AskJeeves is the one that has the most chance. This is also similar to A9, but I like this better because they're not trying to sell me something necessarily.
