Ask Jeeves Searchin' For Famous People

Ask Jeeves is now offering Famous People Search, which includes some results for famous people with a photograph, brief biography, and pointers to more information. Strangely enough PG Wodehouse does not appear to be one of those famous people -- at least I didn't get a differently-formatted result when searched for PG Wodehouse -- but I get ahead of myself.

I started searching for famous people. Did Dennis Kozlowski get any results? No headshot, but pointers to news stories. How about Jon Stewart? Yes. Dennis Miller? Yes. Stephen Hawking? Yes. Donald Trump? Yes. George Washington? Yes (so it isn't just living people.)

When you do get search results they'll include a headshot of the famous person, a brief overview of their career, and pointers to additional information both within Ask Jeeves and without.
