Wolfram Alpha is new search engine and it is much different from anything I've seen before. Wolfram Alpha computes answers to the given questions and it is often referred to as the computational knowledge engine (its inventor call it like this). It isn't like Google, but if it continues to grow it will become No1 one day. It can be used to solve advanced math (not just +, -, *, / like Google did, but it can solve sinuses, cosines, etc. It can also solve different geometrical problems like height of the pyramid (of course, you have to input some parameters). As I'm still testing it I'm inputting some scientific questions like "Jupiter phase", "gold silver molar mass", "population Germany/France", etc. You can also ask Wolfram what was the weather like when Kennedy was killed, Wolfram Alpha will compute the answer for you.
