Stumpedia, a search engine that allows its members to link URL’s to search words manually so the links show up in future searches, has now added an Instant Answers feature. Users simply type in their question and wait for a response in real time from the online network.

Instant Answers is powered by Muchobene, which provides the human network that connects questions to users most able to answer them. The user can chat freely with the person selected to answer the question and conversations can be rated at the end. To become part of the answering network, you can install the Muchobene plug-in here. If a question is routed to you, a pop up window will appear with the option of accepting the question or declining it and passing it on to another user. Stumpedia is a social search engine that relies on human participation to index, organize, and review the world wide web. Stumpedia does not depend on bots, algorithms, or company insiders to make decisions on the relevance and ranking of search results.

They enable users around the world to share their knowledge and interests with one another and provide an alternative to traditional search. Users are encouraged to create custom content pages for any possible search term in the world and submit links that will help people find relevant results and answers to their search requests. Links to social bookmarks, social profiles, blogs, new stories, authoritative articles, videos, images, and web pages are welcomed. Share your knowledge and interests with the world and help people search and surf the world wide web.
