If there's anything that everyone does on the Internet -- EVERYONE! -- is search for answers. Often, people ask themselves what they did before the internet when it comes to doing immediate research (I know in my house, buying the full set of twentysomething encyclopedia books was the timeliest financial mistake my parents had ever made).

Nowadays, though, few will rarely register any other method for getting an answer than hitting up Google. In fact, you might already have a search bar in your browser that automatically throws you a bone via a quickie Google search. But if you're looking to get questions answered "in full" -- rather than through a basic search engine -- here are seven options of Q&A sites to solve your queries.





Aardvark considers itself a search engine, but one that leads you to people with answers, rather than web pages.


All Experts provides "the oldest and largest" library of Q&A which is based on both queries and an extensive list of well-organized categories.


Answers.com is built to provide responses through both WikiAnswers and ReferenceAnswers, culling from both the online community and aggregations of dictionaries, encyclopedias and atlases.

ChaCha lets you make a phone call or text from your mobile device, providing you with a text messaged response in just minutes.

Fun Advice is a type of social network where you can submit a question and get answers, but what makes the site especially unique is that there is a group of "advisers" awarded the position for providing the best answers.

In 10 questions or less, Hunch will offer you an answer based on learnings from its online community, but "narrowed down to people like you."

Sure, Yahoo! Answers, is a community-based Q&A service. But the real show is in the plethora of answers provided by some of the most clueless folks on this whole internet.
