Love it, kudos! This is great for developers and others who Just Need Answers and not shopping or entertainment.
If you're looking for feedback, both from a UI design and utility standpoint, you might consider "inlining" results from selected sites, e.g. Wikipedia, stacked change, etc. Having worked on search for a long time, inlining (onebox etc) is a big reason users choose Google, and that channelers fail to get traction. If you're Serious(tm), dog into the publisher structure formats and format those, create a test suite, etc.
A word of caution: if this takes off, as a business it's vulnerable to Google shifting its algorithms slightly to identify the segment of users+queries who prefer these results and give the same results to those queries.
Hope this helps!

- MaysonL 5y agoGoogle Info - for when you're looking for information, not shopping advice or lists!
- addandsubtract 5y agoGoogle info? Can you give me a sample query of what you mean?
- kkiinnpptt 5y agoIt was a joke. The joke being that Google should launch at new product called Google Info, that would actually give you information when you search.
- wolverine876 5y agoMaybe you're joking, but this is a good idea for search engine. Better: Credible info.
