If you haven't tried WolframAlpha, check it out.
Here is a screencast that explains.
It's a search engine which returns organized data from queries based on normal language. You can ask it math questions, statistics questions, questions about nutritional content, popularity of baby names and so forth.
Notice how often it doesn't understand your question--unlike Google where you almost always get a result, even if it's not what you want. In this case, humans are doing more work behind the magic, trying to predict what people will ask. Though you don't always get a result, when you do get a result it's more satisfying.
