Posted on 12 October 2009 by admin

If you are a man who is fed up with the enormous number of results google offers you then you should be happy with this information.Wolfram Alpha a new search engine released 3 months ago will give you specific answers to all your questions.It is what is called semantic searching.It provides search results only to specific questions unlike google.It is not an absolute rival to google unlike the bing or yahoo.
Wolfram Alpha was started by renowned British physicist Professor Stephen Wolfram.He told that it can answer questions related to cooking,technology, geography, weather, business, travel, people, and music and much more.According to his words ,’In fact it may be as important for the Web (and the world) as Google, but for a different purpose’.It is a ‘computational knowledge engine’ that provides you with a single, precise answer for your questions.Wolfram Alpha can be considered as an intelligent search engine.It breaks down the questions in to basic types and finds the answer.
The search engine is british by origin and does a great job.you may try Wolfram Alpha :

I have done a small comparison with google and Wolfram Alpha and found that ,When i tried google microsoft i got a comparison between them in charts ,their stock shares etc on wolfram while google gave me stories,news etc comprising of both words.

Here is a new addon for firefox i found to display Wolfram results in google.
