Tao's impact at Ask has been immeasurable, due in large part to his role in transforming Ask.com search into one of only four technologies operating at a world-class level today. Tao has been instrumental in pioneering some of the most important developments in the history of search, particularly in the area of large-scale distributed architectures and algorithms, and we look forward to his continued contributions.
