Eindhoven, The Netherlands - Today the pioneering adult search engine AskJolene.com unveiled a new and improved relevance algorithm, demonstrating her pioneering innovation to serve quality to her visitors.

The results are Google-like, customer reactions are extremely positive and the performance is phenomenal.
"A real search engine should not impose limits on the way users formulate their queries, otherwise it risks ending up as a dressed up directory service. With our new algorithm we feel that we have preserved that freedom, while providing our users with more focused results. It's the best of both worlds."
