(Thanks, Matt!)

From this demo vid, it appears that True Knowledge, a new search engine still in private “beta,” is programmed to understand components of natural language.

One of the video’s examples is:

“Is Jennifer Lopez single?”

I’d like to ask it:

“What is the best search engine of them all?”

and

“What is the meaning of Life?”

It looks like it might be partly powered by FreeBase or some other Semantic Data Store. FreeBase is in “Alpha” still, but apparently anyone can now sign up for it.

Oh!

“What color is Sorrow?”
