It seems to just look for some keywords in your search and answer basic questions. It's very good at math though. Try it out @ http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i= EDIT: it seems that it wasn't officially released yet, but someone leaked this link and it does work   | ||

Some really nice commands for mathematics. http://www.wolframalpha.com/examples/Math.html Haha considering that it's made by the same guy that made mathematica, it's not surprising that the site would have really nice math support. From the few queries that I've tried though, it's actually kind of inconvenient. Too specific of keywords will cause it to not understand your input, too few keywords will end up bringing you back information that you don't really need. I do love the concept behind the engine though, so hope that they'll improve the engine's interpretation abilities. | ||

Whereas google gives you a list of pages that might contain relevant information, this engine gives you answers straight up, sort of like a forced "I'm feeling lucky" model. I like it a lot and I think it's going to take off, especially when they improve their content. | ||

Biological data appears to be slim, but at least it's there. | ||

It does looks like a really nice tool, it has no many interesting stuff. Try typing "weather YourTown" or "dollar to yen". It gives you real time info. Nice time saver. | ||

It is only bad (or should I say good) for finding certain types of information. It is a complement to google search, competitor to google calculator, and competes with wikipedia for a good number of things. And it adds something completely new because it generates information on the fly, google generates data on the fly. | ||

Yeah but it will take quite a while to find a proper algorithm and code to do that, this project isnt anywhere near finished or refined except for math and equations. Its a great concept but quite lacking and requires some time to pull off using the internet as a Knowledge base to build your information isn't really easy to do, a project involving wiki in combination with this would be pretty awesome. | ||
