    “Google on the other hand, spits out pages of search results that require you to scan through the pages and links.”

    @ zos: a little searching goes a long way ;)

    “Not to be biased or anything”

    Nope, just factual. Problem?

    I wish people would stop Wolfram|Alpha a search engine. It is not a search engine. If anything, it is a computation engine. It doesn’t search the Web looking for answers. It computes answers to questions using a vast array of data sources.

    You people have got to be kidding? If it was a computation engine, it would actually do some…. computations. The reality is that its worthless. Seriously, go try it, then instead of plugging in the predefined examples they have been pushing, put in a query for an answer you need. Thought so.

    cool but just a complementary tool. and I have to agree with jeff, wolfram Alpha is not a search engine.

    Wolfram Alpha is NOT a search engine, its a COMPUTATIONAL ENGINE. It is not going to directly compete with google’s market, maybe side-by-side by not directly against one another.
