Sometimes questions seem more like search terms than questions. This may be because people are used to typing in just the keywords in a "Search" field without unnecessary words filtering down the results. They might not be expecting to actually create questions. Perhaps the ask box looks too much like a search box. They are just doing what tends to be the most efficient approach when looking for answers on Google.

  • Sometimes questions seem more like search terms than questions. This may be because people are used to typing in just the keywords in a "Search" field without unnecessary words filtering down the results. They might not be expecting to actually create questions. Perhaps the ask box looks too much like a search box. They are just doing what tends to be the most efficient approach when looking for answers on Google. If people use the search box, it doesn't submit a question. However, questions added using the Ask bar are submitted as questions as long as they are not single words. Some people do confuse it with a search box, which means the title may need to be rephrased to be an actual question.
