I have used it many times. It seems that I don't have too much luck unless I can remember nearly the exact wording of the question; often the main words don't generate the question for me.

It works on key words. You can search old questions by typing them into the bar. Sometimes just the main words of the topic title will work, like "sky blue" and you should find all the questions asking why the sky is blue.

Sometimes when I'm considering asking a question, to make sure there isn't already a similar one. Also when I'm looking for an old question.

Yes, on occasions I use it. Try this, in the search bar type >>weight of a european<< and press enter. No answers or comments please.

You could Google it and it would take you direct to the appropriate page.

In the Google search field type : akaqa colleen "are you nuts" and press enter.

Gonna try it right now. I'll let you know how it goes! OK, took me right to a selection of akaQA. When I am away from my computer, I use Google, too, though, and it brings me here pronto. Thanks, west-bus!
