| Wolfram Alpha is a new type of search engine that will rival Google. Instead of giving links to thousands of results from a query, Wolfram Alpha will display information directly related to the query. It is a computational knowledge engine rather than a search engine. Unlike conventional search engines, Wolfram Alpha returns answers from its own database, which has been reviewed for accuracy. So far at least, Wolfram Alpha is great at certain kinds of queries. Population of Cairo? 7.7 million. Earth to the Moon? 381,000 kilometers. For other queries, though, it\'s not the right tool--yet. |
