Now it’s even easier to search on WikiAnswers.
Let’s say you did a search for questions about gerbils… you would get a page like this, with a little line of text at the top:

Use this little tool to filter the results right here on the page, without doing a new search from scratch. For instance…
Limit your search to questions in the Gerbils category:

A little window will pop up so you can choose which categories to search in:

Choose whether you want to see answered, unanswered or all questions:

Done looking at questions about gerbils in general? Time to look up something more specific. Look up “food” instead - your results will still be from the Gerbils category.

And of course, you can always click on New Search or Advanced Search to start from scratch!

Happy searching!

What do Native American spirituality, water skiing, Albert Einstein, and fetal development have in common?
They are all new, recently-added categories on WikiAnswers.
The beautiful thing about categories on WikiAnswers is that anyone - even you - (yes, you!) - can put on the big boy boots, take the reigns and suggest a category based on your interest, popularity of the topic, etc. You can make it happen. And I’m pretty sure that’s what Uncle Sam was really saying when he said that stuff about you.
Check out the current category list. Don’t forget to check the drill-down arrows for further levels of category goodness. Check out the latest categories on the What’s New page.
If you feel inspired, leave a comment here to find out more about suggesting a new category.
