===Learning to use ASK===
Imagine conducting a search for a male, born in Michigan between 1965 and 1968, who has interests in both skiing and poker. Do you think that would be easy with MySpace, Wikipedia, or Google? Fat chance. But on Centiare, you would just set up the following ASK query on a page in your User or Directory space...
<pre>
<ask>
[[Person_First_Name:=*]]
[[Person_Last_Name:=*]]
[[Person_Gender:=Male|Gender]]
[[Birth_State_Name:=Michigan|Birth State]]
[[Birth_Year:=>1965]][[Birth_Year:=<1968]][[Birth_Year:=*|Birth]]
[[Personal_Interest:=Skiing|Ski Interest]]
[[Personal_Interest:=Poker|Poker Interest]]
[[Marital_Status:=*]]
[[City:=*]]
[[State Code:=*|State]]
[[Phone:=*]]
</ask>
</pre>
...instantaneously produces this report:
<ask>
[[Person_First_Name:=*]]
[[Person_Last_Name:=*]]
[[Person_Gender:=Male|Gender]]
[[Birth_State_Name:=Michigan|Birth State]]
[[Birth_Year:=>1965]][[Birth_Year:=<1968]][[Birth_Year:=*|Birth]]
[[Personal_Interest:=Skiing|Ski Interest]]
[[Personal_Interest:=Poker|Poker Interest]]
[[Marital_Status:=*]]
[[City:=*]]
[[State Code:=*|State]]
[[Phone:=*]]
</ask>
