The San Francisco startup Powerset went live on Monday (12th May 2008) with its new semantic search engine for the Internet. The launch of the service has been anticipated for months, with US media speculating about the chances for success of the service, referred to both as the “Google killer” and a takeover target for Microsoft.
The search engine is designed to understand natural language input, although single search terms can also be used. The now publicly accessible service is still in the beta phase. For many questions it actually does deliver a clear answer, as well as an additional summary of information pertaining to the question and a list of the most important sources on the internet.
