Wolfram Alpha is not a search engine . Perhaps it will one day become one, but currently it's exactly what its tagline says: a computational knowledge engine. However, it looks like Google , it provides you with answers and therefore most users will try to use it as a search engine, which doesn't always yield good results. Once you start asking it the right questions, it'll give you better answers. I've spent a couple of days with Wolfram Alpha, and I've learned to love it for all the ways it's different than search engines such as Google. Here are some guidelines which will help you shake off that "search engine" frame of mind and perhaps help you start using Wolfram Alpha to its full potential.
