Getting an answer from Siri
Help? When I ask Siri a question, it always ask if I want it to search the web and then proceed to do so. I never get an answer. When driving, I need it to give me an answer. I can't look up all of the sites.

Again, there are a few things Siri knows how to do directly, like give you a stock quote, a sports score, weather information. The rest will involve web searches and Siri will tell you about that. That's how it works today.
You can use Eyes Free if your car supports it.
In a car that supports Eyes Free, you can also start a conversation with Siri by pressing a button on your steering wheel.
