Will this search engine really answer your questions?

Later on this year Wolfram Alpha will unveil a computational search engine. This search engine will give you precise answers to anything you ask. Wolfram is best known for his Mathematica, powerful computational software.

So how will this actually work, the engine is designed using advanced algorithms. So if you type “How many bones are in the human body?”, the system will take all of the available information and give you the answer. Unlike Google that gives you pages of websites.

In theory this sounds promising. We will have to wait until later this year to find out how well this really works.
