[UFO Chicago] wolfram alpha is a search engine worth using

[Brian Sobolak]

If you haven't already tried Wolfram's Alpha, I'd highly recommend it.  It
has many mathematical features, and tends to display charts and sources
for any data it suggests.

For example, at a recent meeting we were discussing which was larger --
Chicago or Toronto.  And then city vs metro.  This is perfect for Alpha:

It's a different approach than google which is more document based; this
is more data based.  worth exploring, esp. if you have anything
computational or data to search for.
