Its kind of disappointing that they aren't trying to parse natural language. I know that would make it a ton more complex (and possibly beyond our capacity to do), but to me that would be truly the next generation from our current flavor of search engines. If I could truly ask a question and have the computer understand what I'm talking about to return an answer, rather than just trying to match keywords. That's Wolfram's goal, I think, but I don't know if they can really get there without parsing human language.
- noaharc 17y agoThey do parse natural language. In fact, that was one of the biggest problems they had to overcome, and is the main reason they currently have no plans for creating different versions for other languages. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/wolframalpha_our_first_impressions.php http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/wolframalpha_our_first_...
