Abstract: The World Wide Web is an attractive source of information retrieval and can be used for seeking simple factual answers for user questions. Although usual information retrieval systems like search engines helps in finding the relevant documents for a set of keywords, there are situations where we have more specific information need. Search engines only provide the actual facts as a ranked list of documents and links that contain the keywords. However, what a user really wants is often a precise answer to a question. A Question Answering system gives us a precise solution to this scenario. A Question Answering system retrieves a precise answer to any natural language question posed by the user. A typical QA system uses several language processing techniques. In this paper, an Open Domain Question Answering that answers simple Wh-questions using online search has been proposed
