Is there a way to search askville to see if a question has already been asked by someone else?

I'm sure there must be a way, but it's just not obvious to me. Thanks in advance for your help. Asked by shrinkwrapped 58 months ago Similar questions: search askville question asked Amazon > Askville.

There is no way As of right now, the only way you can search is by topic. So if you can guess all the possible topics for your question, you can research it--and you might still ask one that's already been asked as some people don't categorize them correctly. Hopefully as Askville grows this is something that is in the plans.

Feel free to ask whatever you want, though! It won't hurt anything if a question is repeated! *Poppet*'s Recommendations Still Searching Amazon List Price: $15.98 Used from: $5.98 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5 (based on 10 reviews) .

My knowledge You can go to My Account and on the right-hand side of the page is "Search Topics" - in there you can type a topic you think the question might be found under. For example, "What is the largest lake on earth? " might be found under Lake, or Record, or Earth.

Sadly, that's the only way to search Askville right now. One other thing you could try is Google, in the format words site:askville.com" rel="nofollow">askville.com For example largest lake on earth site:askville.com" rel="nofollow">askville.com Good luck! .

Not really,sort of though... Askville does not yet have a community memory. So there is no specific question search. The best that you could do is go to the Home page,go to search topics and enter the topic that you think the question may have been asked under,then search and search.

You'll have to go through questions that have answers,then those that need answers. There are two different categories. Remember that Askville is new,so the community memory is (probably) still under construction.

It is actually somewhat difficult First of all the easiest way is to guess what the topics for the question would be and search that way, unfortuneately, if you and the person who originally asked the same question don’t think on the same wavelength, you might miss something. Something else you can do is to use a search engine (I typically use Google) and include Askville in the search terms. It isn't perfect but it can help out..

Not exactly! And it's the reason we've been getting a lot of the same questions over & over again...Which I tend to answer with a link to the last of the same I answered. You can search a topic, and seach through the questions that have answers.

If it's a hot topic, there'd be a ton of sifting, and a small interest topic won't have as much. This should definately be a feature Askville adds in the NEAR future as we have tens of thousands of answered questions with no good search to find them. ASKVILLE, are you reading this?
