Ready. Powerset. Go
Wikipedia is a great invention. You can pretty much find everything on there.
The traditional way (for me) is to Google for something I want. And it is very likely that a Wiki entry is listed within the top 5 results.
Apparently the new Cuil search engine displays a lot of Wiki results as well.
However, do you know that there is a search engine dedicated to search only the Wikipedia?
Powerset is designed just for this purpose.
Powerset enables you to:
1. Discover Factz
For most people, places and things, Powerset shows a summary of Factz from across Wikipedia.
2. Unlock Meaning
Powerset finds articles related to the meaning of your query. And sometimes even direct answers.
3. Scan Summaries
Powerset summarizes pages for easy browsing, with tools that follow you as you read and explore.
It is of course easy to use – type in a search query, click ‘enter’, and there you go.
