    Sergey,

    The search engine "Ask Jeeves" (www.askjeeves.com) shows recent queries as well
    in the form of full questions. Many of them are of the form "I am looking for
    information about X", however. And it is not clear that these are the original
    form that the user submits.

    The site Abuzz.com (www.abuzz.com) also lists user questions that they seek help
    on. Self-styled experts are then encouraged to provide the answer. There are
    several such "ask an expert" sites now. Another is called Allexperts.com
    (www.allexperts.com). The queries here are not necessarily single interrogative
    sentences, however.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello All again,

    I have found that the query sources Mark Sanderson gave me are quite good,
    but they are not completely NL queries.
    I am looking for more

    ?natural? queries.

    Plz. let me know if somebody knows the other sites, I can take queries from.

    With the best regards,
    Sergeio
