Funny, I never used questions with Google, until very recently, and only with some queries.

Got good at including words for context early on and never stopped.

Out of curiosity — what made you start?

Seeing a few queries others did. Now, if it seems like an obvious question, I may try it.

My default remains word searches. Frankly, better operators would benefit me more than questions would.

I really do not always want to formulate a question. Doing that makes sense sometimes.

Often, I want to see relevant info, then formulate other queries.
