A Search Engine With Wisdom

WolframAlpha generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base. It does some thinking. For example, a search for ‘How do I cure a sinus infection?’ returns a breakdown of the four treatments most commonly proscribed by doctors, based on gender. Wolfram’s got a sense of humor too: type in ‘What is Love?’ and get several answers, including ‘Baby don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me, no more.’ Not only is Wolfram a thinking search engine, it apparently also listens to early 1990s dance music.
