“Cha” means Search in Chinese so the website I am writing about here does exactly what its name suggests. ChaCha.com is a new way of searching the web. Although still in its BETA version ChaCha seems to have won many hearts.

The first thing that this site does is it searches the internet just like any other search engine. Yeah, so what is so cool about it right? The neat thing about this search engine is if you want you can get human assistance to guide you through your search results. To use this feature you will have to register which takes about one to two minutes ( free ). Then after you verify your email address you are connected to a human guide which takes about 1 minute or so. After you are connected to a human guide you can type your queries and the guide will help you find results. In my case, I got the exact results I wanted which if I was looking through google, I would have to look through many pages.

This search engine is something we should all look into. If we are searching for general terms we can use any search engine as they all pretty much yield the same results. But if you want something precise and exact then human guided search through ChaCha is the way to go.

Update:
This link was suggested to me by one of my fellow blogcatalog members for an article Click here for the article which talks about ChaCha’s scams. In this article it is written that ChaCha has taken the live guide button off the homepage which I found to be false. Also in this article it is said that ChaCha makes users use the general search first which I also found to be false.

My experience:
I typed in my query and clicked on the Live Guide button. I was taken to the sign in page and I signed in using my email and password and I was instantly taken to a page where I received help from the Guide. This is my personal experience, please lemme know yours!
