The first time I saw this article I thought it was going to be something about Joss Whedon shows, Wolfram & Hart was an evil law office in the series Angel and Alpha is a character name in Dollhouse. Anyway I will be trying this search engine, but have my doubts it will work.

Thank you for the informative article. It's amazing to me how many people think that WolframAlpha is going to be the next Google killer. Here's what's up.. IT'S NOT. Nor is it supposed to be. But what it means for information and scholars across the world is astounding IMHO. I wrote up a brief article "Why WolframAlpha is NOT the Google Killer".
