Powerset Debuts With Search of Wikipedia

via The New York Times

On Monday, the company will make its public debut, opening up to the masses its search engine, which uses “natural language” to organize and search documents. But Powerset won’t be searching the entire Web, at least not initially. In its debut, it will be confined to Wikipedia.

But Powerset remains a long way off from its promise and faces a seemingly intractable problem: for a very large fraction, if not the vast majority, of searches, keywords work just fine.
