The system tries to interpret the Powerset semantic search queries

A young American company Powerset launched a test version of the same name service, designed to simplify the search for information on the Internet.

The main feature of Powerset, according to the creators, is that the searcher is able to accept requests on a standard spoken language. The system analyzes the user-entered text and tries to analyze its meaning, and then generates a results list with the most relevant information. That is, ideally, users do not have to choose carefully the terms and keywords, and can simply enter in the search box Powerset usual phrase of interest to the question as if it was done during a conversation with another person.

However, the current system of Powerset has some limitations, and the authors of the project to be done a lot of work to implement all our plans. First, Powerset still looking for answers to inquiries only in the database on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia. Second, the system treats the phrase in English only and has no other localized versions. And in many cases the answers to seemingly elementary questions are not in the list of initial results. For example, if you ask the search engine 'Who is the President of the United States?' .

It is worth adding that the foundation of search engine Powerset technology is partly put the machine recognition of human language, developed the Xerox research center in Palo Alto (Palo Alto Research Center, PARC). It is possible that in the long run Powerset will compete with such giants as Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.
