'''ASK''' is perhaps [[Directory:Centiare|Centiare's]] most powerful tool for searching for information in the directory. It can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to the [[Centiare:Search Triple|Search Triple]] form-based search tool.  Only [[Centiare:Registration|registered users]] may create these ASK queries.

Of course, these are just examples, and ASK queries may be written to be as inclusive or restrictive of qualifying [[Special:Attributes|attributes]], [[Special:Categories|categories]], or [[Special:Relations|relations]] as the author wishes.  The strength of these searches depends on other Centiare users properly tagging articles with useful and appropriate semantic tags.  The more semantic tags you introduce to an article, the more likely it will be found by someone constructing an ASK query.

We recommend that you experiment with your own ASK queries on your User page (or sub-page) before you implement them in Directory or Main Space pages.
