This innovative search engine is more like having a source of artificial intelligence at your side, providing deductive reasoning to queries to help solve problems.

The groundbreaking software, “understands” a user’s question

Most people stop their deductive reasoning when they arrive at what they think are common-sense evidences.
It will be interesting to see how the software will deal with these.
In Book III, Chapter (Part?) 8 of De Anima (On the Soul),
Aristotle,
who also wrote a book De Partibus Animalium (On the Parts of Animals),
wrote that
the soul is analogous to the hand;
for as the hand is a tool of tools ,
so the mind is the form of [432a] forms
and sense the form of sensible things,
http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/soul.3.iii.html
I can tell you from the school of hard knocks,
and I mean this literally,
that a hand cannot be replaced by any prosthesis or hook.
Can the human mind?
We’ll see …

Personally I’m excited at the world of information that this will open up to researchers everywhere. I think at first we will find that it’s not what most people are hoping and looking for but mining for pure data in a current search engine is tantamount to sifting through junk mail.
That said, I don’t think it will be a Google Killer: http://www.sagerock.com/blog/wolframalpha-not-google-killer/
