Bing harnesses the power of Wolfram Alpha to enhance search results

In its continuous strive to become a credible competition to Google, Microsoft search engine Bing has just announced that it is teaming up with respected web tool; Wolfram Alpha to improve results in Bing’s search engine result pages. Wolfram Alpha is different to a conventional search engine because it does not send you to page on the web where you can find the information you are looking for but it actually answers you question, this makes Wolfram Alpha describe itself as a “computational knowledge engine” rather than a search engine.

The partnership between Bing and Wolfram Alpha will first be tested out in US and it will be limited to areas such as nutrition, health and mathematics. Wolfram Alpha differentiates itself from standard search engines by answering questions directly, by grabbing raw data from public and licensed databases.
