The latest trend in web development is rich user interface while semantic search rules the roost where knowledge management is concerned.

Enter Powerset, a recent entrant in the search field that has been over a year in the beta stage. Powerset finds answers to your questions on Wikipedia and Freebase, arguably the top free databases on the ‘net.

In addition to being a next-generation semantic search engine, Powerset has also earned the title of “best looking” search engine. See Powerset – the best looking search engine. The site does boast an easy to grasp user interface and clean look.

ed. note – I was one of the original beta testers for Powerset via PowerLabs. I can say from firsthand experience that the company is comprised of really smart people. You know – geeks. Good luck, guys.

    Getting better search results has been a targeted issue for some time.

    What we fail to recognize is our own ability to search better. Not just in the tools we use but the method(s) we ask. Not a day goes by when someone across your desk asks a question that can be replied too in more ways than one depending on who the statement is rendered.

    The age old mission is providing better results to your query. Hint: Ask a better question.
