Lexxe Search Engine

Link: Lexxe Search Engine. This is a natural language search engine, and I have to say that so far, I'm quite impressed with it. I tried a few questions, such as 'What is the population of Australia?' 'When was Robert E Lee born?' 'When did Stonewall Jackson die?' and it got them perfectly correct. I also asked 'who is Phil Bradley' and it came back with author, which was kinda neat.

It doesn't seem to have an advanced search function, and it's fairly limited on syntax, but if you have a factual question you want to ask, it's certainly worth trying it out.
