Google's dominance in the segment of the search engine is not shaken yet even though the competitors continue to roll out. Now a scientist from the UK is trying his luck to bring a new search engine which is hope to conquera Google.
Professor Stephen Wolfram, founder of software company, Wolfram Research Wolfram, creates a site named Wolfram Alpha which will be coming soon. Wolfram Alpha presents a new paradigm in online search.
As Quoted from Vnunet, Tuesday (03/10/2009), search engines such as Google or Yahoo go through billions of web pages to find answers that approximately match the users' request.
That is in contrast to Wolfram Alpha that is able to exactly answer questions submitted by users.
For example if the user asks the question 'Why is the sky blue? " or 'How many bones in the human body', Alpha Wolfram claims to ansewer accurately.
If there is no obstacle, Wolfram Alpha will be launched in May 2009. Can this search engine conquer Google, or otherwise collapse? Time will tell.
