TrueKnowledge . . . the way search ought to be?

Came across an interesting search engine still in beta called TrueKnowledge. It is a semantic search engine. I am not quite sure how much different it is when compared to still unlaunched powerset or 'smart answers,' but initially it looks pretty cool.




TrueKnowledge utilizes natural language analysis (a simple way of saying that it aims to 'understand' the way we use language in our day to day, real life situations, accounting for human intentions and implicit desires), to provide the searcher with a direct explicit answer. The answers are drawn upon a database system (that I am guessing has to be pretty limited in this early phase) generated by user posted content.

Therefore the extent to which it is able to truly decipher human intent is not necessarily a function of semantic based computing, but on what users post. And the extent to which it is really 'thinking,' I still think is largely up for debate. It would be nice if it gathered information based on intent from both the web itself AND some sort of user generated content, but only time will tell where all of these search engines are going . . .
