Comparing search engines, e-government (does it work?) and how bats prove something about sex
This week’s Science and Technology pages are up (have been for a day, but I’ve been busy, and wanted to let people outside Europe and the US tell me if they read this before I block it.
Anyway, I’ve compared the search performance of Google, MSN and Askjeeves (the result may surprise you); Wendy M. Grossman examines the state of UK e-government; and Tim Birkhead on bats, sexual attraction and smell.

The Ask feature you highlighted reminds me of Clusty.com, which struck me as very useful. I’d be surprised if Google didn’t add this, as it is a very neat way to get to what you’re actually looking for.
