For a query like ...Results should be more detailed. For a query like distance of the Moon, the result should contain Average distance also distance at perigee/apogee. Otherwise it is misleading and inaccurate. <br /><br />I would love to get a ten sentence overview when I query a subject. If you query for example a cast of a TV show the result is just the actors name in plain text. At least they should show the role they play, ideally with link to IMDB or Wikipedia.lyesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054932859502692978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-42513616467204537642012-05-15T19:45:59.960-07:002012-05-15T19:45:59.960-07:00No, I was referring to the answer given for the qu...No, I was referring to the answer given for the question "When was the Sydney Opera House built" (which is "1958"). If you drill into the links provided, the first link points to Wikipedia, and the sentence where the answer was extracted from is, "The Fort Macquarie Tram Depot, occupying the site at the time of these plans, was demolished in 1958 and formal construction of the Opera House began in March 1959."<br /><br />For the Mark Twain's example, it is easy for the human user to figure that the answer given is wrong, but for the Sydney Opera House case, the average user will very much less suspecting.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463662262167823164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-10603384905668054332012-05-15T18:37:09.897-07:002012-05-15T18:37:09.897-07:00you mean how old was MT when he died?you mean how old was MT when he died?tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086203776037971045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-89663820589613473352012-05-15T18:30:23.328-07:002012-05-15T18:30:23.328-07:00I like the interface, but it may mislead the user ...I like the interface, but it may mislead the user in treating the answer given as the correct truth.
