Quinterest is a question database/search engine. It was created by Rohit Lalchandani and is now maintained by Jacob Reed. Quinterest allows users to search through question sets that have been stored within its database, and users can choose to filter results by difficulty (middle school, high school, college, open) or by subject. One can also choose to search for words in just the answerline or words in the answerline and question.
With the introduction of Version 1.0, bonus question searching capability was added, though it is still limited in scope. With the addition of a user-friendly front-end for adding more questions, support for subcategories, and other fixes, Quinterest moved to its current version, 1.1.1.
Because of the parsers used to create the original database, Quinterest sometimes (now rarely) includes truncated questions. Users can report errors for fixing.
