Obviously it isn't a competitor for Google search, or any other web search, but it might be a competitor for similar products being developed by those companies.
For that reason a search company may want to acquire them either before they get too big and expensive, or to prevent a competitor from performing an instant catch-up in this market by buying instead of developing.
Therefore, I was wondering what the market cap was of Wolfram Research, since they aren't exactly a small, pre-profit startup.
This isn't a complaint about a lack of data, since that can be updated after the preview feedback allows them to adjust the more important technology; I just enjoyed the irony of it having no information about Wolfram Alpha LLC, and only providing some useless web traffic stats for wolfram.com when asked about Wolfram Research.
