    \nThe Internet search engine that media mogul Barry Diller acquired for $1.85 billion to compete with     Google<\/strong><\/a> Inc., is cutting 130 engineering jobs and conceding much of its search business to competitors. Ask.com, a unit of Diller\u2122 IAC\/InterActiveCorp, is dismissing engineers based in Edison, New Jersey, and in Hangzhou, China, and ceasing work on its algorithmic search technology, according to Ask.com President Doug Leeds.
    The search unit will consolidate its engineering operations at its headquarters in Oakland, California, and focus its resources on developing its online question-and-answer service. Twenty of the engineers currently working in New Jersey will be asked to relocate to Oakland, the company said. BLeeds said that Google has become too powerful a competitor to justify Ask.com continued pursuit of those search users. More details:     Bloomberg<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
