Powerset Launches

Powerset has launched a new search engine over Wikipedia. Powerset is doing Natural Language Search — the search algorithms and the index depend on parsed data, built with tools that originated in the natural language research groups at PARC and make use of innovative theoretical ideas from LFG.

The search engine they just launched seems to take fairly seriously the form of one's queries and to attempt a certain amount of reference tracking across the documents it returns.
