Wolfram|Alpha, also spelled WolframAlpha, is an answer-engine developed by Wolfram Research that was just launched. Wolfram|Alpha is not your typical search engine.
It answers questions by computing the answer from structured data, instead of providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer. WolframAlpha is basically a computational knowledge engine that generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, instead of searching the web and returning links.

How much data is there in Wolfram|Alpha? Many trillions of elements, continually growing through a large number of feeds.  Its data comes from Wolfram|Alpha’s internal knowledge base. You can also get updates on its progress via their blog
