Quinterest is a question database search engine dedicated to helping players everywhere sharpen their skills and increase their knowledge. The name derives from the combination of “quiz bowl” and “interest." It was created by Rohit Lalchandani, with database assistance from Joshua Duncan and 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. Quinterest is currently on Version 1.0.1.

While the search functions are an improvement over Quizbowl DB, Quinterest only has about the same amount or less of questions, and often truncates questions or sticks them together. Users can report errors for fixing.
