Wolfram Vs Google - Review on the Google Killer

For years Google has been there for us, serving to there level best. From a simple search engine brought up in a room, Google has established it self into a well renowned company. Now Google is not a name of a search engine, as it gives us more than that.


Google gives its users a lot of services like Gmail, Picasa and many others which we use daily. Moreover, there is a great affiliation that Google has made with its users by which its hard to just stop using it.

Google hasn't faced such big competitions ever since it has evolved, other than that of Yahoo. Recently, a website Wolfram was said to be the Google Killer and it made be think what special is that website offering. So let us know check whether it is the Google Killer or Not.

Wolfram is a computation search engine which gives you a precise information on a certain query. It gathers its information from different websites, and then presents the information in a very nice manner. For example if you search 'Mount Everest', this is what you would see.

To be very honest, being a Google fan I certainly am impressed by the result which it showed. So, when thing comes right away in your mind that, Wolfram is best if you want to get the precise info about a certain query. But what if something else is searched like for example 'Latest Technology'.

The above image, would have given you the exact idea of what I am trying to say here. It was very obvious, that Wolfram would give such a result. Now check out the results Google gave when 'Mount Everest' and 'Latest Technology' were searched.

Now this is what I call a 'search engine. The point which needs to be emphasized here is that Google is a complete search engine as it gives us all what we need to know, from images to text. Where else Wolfram is only a 'computational search engine' which wont give you a complete information but only the facts about a certain query. Moreover, Google can tell you the recipe of 'scrambled eggs' but Wolfram wont.

The Conclusion:

Wolfram is not a Google killer, not even close to it. However, it can only be used if one needs to find out some computational results.
