Interesting article about Ask Jeeves (how bad it is)
businessweek.com

My favorite part mentions AltaVista very favorably:

"Then I asked "How do I make paella?" Jeeves took a pass on this one, too. His referrals to other search engines turned up a mixed bag, in several languages, of recipes, restaurants, and paella pans. By far the best results came from my separate inquiry to AltaVista, which also invites searches in question form. Its first 10 hits produced seven different recipes, which is what I really was looking for."
