Questions about Wiki-editing.

How can I search questions with certain parameters (a sort of advanced search)?

• I'm new on Quora and the most difficult task that I did is: retrieve good questions under a specific topic. As far as I know there isn't an index that marks a question as an interesting question (moreover "interesting" is subjective) so I use the "top stories" feed of the specific topic. This feed is good but show only a small set of questions, for example under Quora (topic) it shows almost 100 questions while the topic itself has thousand of these, I'm missing a lot of content!!! So I thought: "Ok, it's time to use the list of all questions" but it is quite impossible. A lot of shown questions don't have interesting titles, or don't have answers [1]. Moreover the list of all questions is really huge, I barely dug it up to earlier January (now its 31 Jan 2013) while Quora has questions since 2010. Then I searched in Quora an advanced search, where i can specific things such as: "pick all questions of topics (T1,..,Tn) from date X to date Y with at least A answers, F followers and V views"; but i wasn't able to find it. So, is there an andavanced search on quora? If not is there an hope that will be implemented? Else a lot of good contents will be missed :( . Quora has an high potential for "surf questions and read/learn", don't waste it! Related or similar questions [2]: - - - [1] I don't want toreply when i do these searches, I want to read ideas/good opinions. [2] Thanks to "related questions", maybe the most useful feature on Quora. I visit a really (by title) related question and then the related questions to the last one until I don't find really related question to the start question. PS: Actually I use "list of all questions" plus a regular expression search [ps.1] (to select questions with at least one answer) but is not so useful (especially to search older questions). update: as Thomas said, i start to use google search on quora. For example if i want to search questions in a certain topic witin a time interval then i use: site:quora.com topicName + interval date specified. Moreover, since Google it's google, it will show up, probably, the relevant discussion first. [ps.1] http://www.mingyi.org/FastestSearch/index.html

• Answer:

  This is where Quora search will fail you. It's aimed at your asking a question in the box and the link to the question appearing in the results.   If you want some advanced searching, it's best to try Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo. They should be able to show you pages from Quora only if you use site:quora.com.
