Wolfram Alpha: The Best Search Engine EVER!

This is a search engine based on the programming language Mathmatica. I thought it was pretty fun.

Here's the link!

Fun things to try:

-Enter the name of a color, it will give you complementary color, color triad, ect.
-Enter a date
-Enter a shape name (cube, tetrahedron, ect.)
-Enter an incomplete word. For example, if you didn't know how to spell butterfly, you could enter bu__e_fly and it will fill in the blanks
-Enter the name of a chemical
-Enter weather and it will give you the weather for your area!
-Search a food and it will give ou nutrition facts
-Enter a music note (B flat) or scale (A major)
-Enter a number or calculation
-Search a website (scratch.mit.edu???)

They have a whole bunch of search examples, so look around the site! I haven't mentioned nearly all the cool stuff!

Have fun! Post what you did and any comments you have!
