Queries meant to gain valuable insight and information. Sometimes we get curious and just want to ask questions, and to know such information can be quite satisfying. For example, what are the best places to visit in Whangarei? Where to find vegetarian meals in Northland?
Navigation Queries
If you want to find a specific URL, you do a navigational query. Let’s some people are too lazy to figure out or type in URLs. Search engine automatically hooks you up with the right links.
