What would you say if you were to describe a search engine in five words or fewer words?

Look at this how: Search engine is--idiot genius.

An idiot genius usually refers to a person who has a brain problem but has a brilliant genius in some way. They may not tie their own shoelaces, but they can casually say 50 digits of pi to the decimal point.

You probably have experienced in the past search experience this idiot genius morbid side, just a few times the search effect also let you very satisfied, but now give you some messy network garbage, let a person wry smile not. It is often that you stick your head in the monitor for too long, you know, sometimes the best way to find the answer is not to use a search engine, but to ask an expert.

Who should you ask?
============

Samuel Johnson said: "There are two kinds of knowledge, you know a certain kind of knowledge itself, or you know where to find this knowledge." "When you're thinking about where to ask people and asking for help, remember to put it in your head," he said.

There are two kinds of ' ask expert ' websites. A professional website maintained by an expert who can give detailed and targeted answers to your questions. The other is a website maintained by Generalists (often a librarian) who may not be able to give a definitive answer to your question, but will point you to the most appropriate place to find the answer.

What kind of expert you choose depends on your problem. For example, if you want to ask a complex and esoteric subject, you'd better go and find an expert on it. If you want to ask a topic that is more mundane, or simply want to have a general idea of the subject, the generalist will give you a satisfying answer.

There are not thousands and hundreds of experts in the field who are willing to answer your questions. Next is a list of experts in some of the most interesting areas, and they all like to answer your questions.

Do you want to find an expert in a particular field? Try searching with the ' expert ask subject ' In the Meta search Engine dogpile (http://www.dogpile.com/) (replace ' subject ' with the domain name you specify).
Also remember that--www.about.com's instructors are experts in their respective fields who are happy to answer your questions and, of course, don't forget to make it clear.

Ask a special expert
=============

For ordinary problems, your first stop should choose Pitsco ' Ask a Expert '. Ask an Expert has a list of answers to questions from volunteers, and most PITSCO experts have a web page that lists questions that were answered in the past, but also welcomes new questions.

Another useful service is LookSmart Live (http://www.looksmart.com/live/), LookSmart is a popular maintenance-friendly catalog that allows you to use some of its editing. You ask a question, one of their editors will answer you by email within 24 hours.

Similarly, information Outpost (http://www.informationoutpost.com/) is also a free search service site where you can ask questions at random. The answer is usually within 4 hours.

Knowpost (http://www.knowpost.com/) is another community that answers volunteer questions. To encourage its volunteer experts to provide high-quality answers, Knowpost asks you to evaluate the answers to your questions and give expert volunteers a reward based on your feedback.

Ask the librarian.
===============

There's something I've said before, but now it's necessary to repeat: one of the best expert resources is the librarian near your home. They are professionally trained, friendly, professional, knowledgeable generalists, and you can talk to them face-to-face. The librarian may ask you a few questions you've been thinking about, and then a better answer may come out of your head.

You can also get help from librarians online, and more than 90 libraries (http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/~b-sloan/e-mail.html) provide information services via email.

The Network Public Library Reference Center (Reference center,http://www.ipl.org/ref/que/) is mainly when you start to prepare an important project, ipl,internet Provide appropriate information and location as a starting point. is primarily intended to get your started with some ideas and places to begin if you ' ve got a big project. IPL will not do too much searching for you, but will instruct you to find the outstanding Pathfinders (http://www.ipl.org/ref/QUE/PF/) to help you find information, whether Pathfinder online or in the local library.

Earl:ask a librarian (http://www.earl.org.uk/ask/index.html) offers a similar service, launched by the British Public Library Network consortium. Although EARL was first designed for British citizens, they also realized that the internet had no boundaries and had never rejected any inquiries from overseas.

Remember to submit questions to IPL or Earl after you've considered it. Their members are volunteers with other full-time jobs. When they are ready to help you with enthusiasm, it is very bad to find out that your problem is very simple or has been answered in the past. So before submitting your question, search for the questions they have already answered.

Finally, search questions can go to our search forum Need help Searching (http://about.delphi.com/ab-websearch/start/?tid=249.1), please feel free to ask, don't be polite.

China is regarded by many foreign websites as the birthplace of spam, so some foreign websites will block emails sent from Chinese websites, so some Chinese websites also refuse to receive emails from corresponding websites. So in order to ensure that you can receive the letter from the experts, try to use foreign free mail.
