It appears to work. I asked it where to go for lunch, and the first reference to lunch it found was Oren's Hummus.

I asked about clojure and it didn't find anything. Here there is a thread on HN that asks the same: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3690026 .

PG, in case you are still around here, which is your take on clojure?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Agreed. My first attempt was http://wwpgd.com/?q=how+do+you+cook+steak%3F , and nothing came up. I guess I don't know who Paul Graham is yet.

I enquired as to the best color for the bike shed, but virtual PG was unable to give me any advice.

I asked for advice on dealing with database servers going down in the middle of the night, nada.

According to this search engine, McCain and Obama cereal sold by the founders of AirBnB is part of a balanced pg breakfast.

Heh, even a local gelato place is currently inviting people to choose between "Mint" Romney and "Ba-Rocky" Road.

suggestion: show some examples. I honestly have no clue what should I input on the search field.

It says to 'ask PG a question', so I tried a bunch of things I thought would find plenty of results:

* "How to grow a userbase" * "Find a mentor" * "Disrupt a market"

Only the last one returned any hits. I definitely think it needs some kind of suggested queries for people to try out.

It's the Lisp dialect I usually recommend.
