    While Google or any other Search Engine relies on highly complex algorithms to give responses to queries, "Human Powered Search Engines", in addition to a traditional computer-based search, provides the option of having human guide(s) assist with any query.

    The guide might be paid for her job, or it can also be for their mutual benefit.

    For example "You are a real estate agent in Ottawa Canada and you registered as a GUIDE the keyword “house for sale in Ottawa”. Someone comes and searches for “houses for sale in Ottawa” , you are immediately sent an alert to chat with the searcher."

    MaybeNow.com is a good example of human powered search engine and it connects Guides/Searcher for mutual benefits.
