"Natural language" search

This doesn't really belong in the "Science & Technology" forum, but it's not exclusively "Education & Media" either.

Anyway, it's not much - just a new search engine based on "natural language":

POWERSET


Currently it's in the testing phase.

I don't think there's much point in something like this. Instead of typing in 'what should I feed my cat?', I think it's far easier just to search for 'feeding cats,' or something along those lines. If you want to get google to search for your exact phrase, just put "quotation marks" around the query.

Oh, I agree.
(And frankly, I wish I could be paid for my Google-searching because I'd be a millionaire by now...; ))

But not all people know how to search - in fact, astonishingly few people know how to search... But I digress.

Anyway, I do think that such things deserve a moment of exposure here. After all, everything can be improved on.
