The newest search engine Wolfram Alpha is pretty much limited yet provides well-researched entries compared with Google (co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin) which happens to be truly comprehensive in terms of its search results. Wolfram Alpha aims to provide reliable and technically exact data needed by conscious data consumers; hence, it carries itself as a computational knowledge engine as opposed to an ordinary search engine. Wolfram Alpha is a brainchild of Stephen Wolfram.
Wolfram Alpha being a computational knowledge search engine provides answers to whatever query you input beginning from A to Z and all letters in between. I tried to key in 1+1=0 on the search box under the impression that it will give me a case where it is possible to arrive at zero and show me the fallacy it committed along the way. But the only result it showed me is a very concise answer: FALSE. Still trying my luck, I hit the same formula on Google and Google impressively gave me as its first entry: Two “proofs” that 1+1=0. Well, the Google result is truly more interesting.
Wolfram Alpha was initially made known to the public during its soft launch Alpha mode on 15 May 2009. Wolfram Alpha aims to provide logical answers to queries and does not provide websites which contain the actual query entry on the search box. Further, it provides highly analyzed data which have appropriate and applicable sources.
On May 12, 2009, Michael Arrington described Google Squared as an advanced search engine which provides results on a spreadsheet with specific data on each square box. Yes, Google Squared is yet to hit the cyber space on the latter part of this month on labs but the rivalry between the two advanced engines are now hitting newspapers, newscast, and podcasts as well. The rivalry is grounded on the desire to provide well-structured search results to satisfy consumers because search engines are all now finding ways to provide well-structured, concise, and reliable data which is honestly the direction of all search engines. Yes, we all need reliable and valid data, not just buzzes and opinions. The latest buzz expects Microsoft to launch its newest Live Search codenamed Kumo, which means "cloud" or "spider" in Japanese relative to the Kanji used, on June 2nd. In Asi, a language widely spoken by many Bantoanons from the Philippines, Kumo means to mix the rice and the toppings/dish/viand by the hand. Hence, asking "Will you "Kumo" it?" literally means "Will you mix the rice and the toppings/dish/viand using your hand?" Searching Kumo will surely require a hand and whatever combination of results it shows, it will definitely give the person a distinct and unique interest compared if the results appear individually.
For now, let’s patiently wait for the Google Squared and Kumo and personally see which advanced search engine tickles our fancy. Till next searchology!
