I am skeptical about the entire premise of software like Google answering questions more complicated than research for school reports. Any sufficiently interesting question can be answered better by humans. Questions with simple answers often require more nuance to properly understand the answer. For example if you ask the population of a city. When was the census, and how exactly was the edge of the city defined? To make information usable you need to understand the source. Complex questions have multiple sources that may be incomaptible in forming an answer to a question. Without strict standards for representing knowledge I doubt Google have sufficient data to do anything groundbreaking outside of a few small areas.
