I've searched for a while but I haven't found a solution to this problem:

How to add a simple "Was this information helpful?" survey at the bottom of a page or node using AJAX.

For example, many Google "How to" or help pages have a survey at the bottom of their pages

http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78799

At the bottom of this page it asks
"Was this information helpful?"

After you click yes or no it displays "Thank you for your feedback" and then displays two more questions:

"Easy to understand?"
"Complete with enough details?"

And once again, when you click on yes/or no it displays "Thank you for your feedback"

I would like to duplicate this functionality for my web site (a site with many "how to" articles).

I came across a discussion here from 2008:
http://drupal.org/node/220434

But it it didn't say how to resolve this issue.
Someone mentioned the Fivestar module, although I'm not sure how to use Fivestar to implement this functionality.

Does anyone have any advice on where to start?
Or, is there a module that already does this?
Or, is there a way to setup Fivestar (or another module) so that it copies this feature?

Fivestar module might be a way to go. Check out Fivestar documentation at http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/fivestar

You might also wanna check Flag module? http://drupal.org/project/flag Users can vote (flag) using AJAX.

I personally feel that custom coding would be the way to go.

1) Design a block with feedback form. Use ajax call to store the entered data as well as to call next set of information. ( JQuery Ajax should be easy).
2) Configure block to appear only on feedback pages. ( You can set alias pattern to have something like 'feedback/[raw-title]' and configure the feedback block to appear only on the paths feedback/*
