New AI Search Engine - Trying to beat Google, Wolfram Alpha, DuckDuckGo

#1
It returns an answer much faster than Google. Try typing things like: "im not ugly but i cant get girls" "im an it guy but cant get girls" "im rich and cant get girls"

This seems to depend on the exact phrase being asked on one of the source websites, with the quality and literacy of the answer varying by source. If you want to compete with the likes of WolframAlpha and Google an important next step will be to help it do simple maths and "what time is it in..." lookups.

On the other hand, it me gives literate and considered answers for questions like "how can get better abs", "how can i get a bigger penis". It also advises me I'm only 12 when I ask it if my breasts are too small but nevertheless offers very sound advice on attracting a rich man.

When I turn to politics it advises me that Barack Obama isn't a Muslim "but desperate people will say yes, so watch out for it", cautions that North Korea isn't evil "only its leader..." and doesn't want me to vote Republican

It doesn't seem to approve of smartphones, advising me to wait until later versions of Android are released, buy an iPod instead of an iPhone.

I'd be intrigued to know how you're sorting out duplicates for common questions.

Best answer is a toss up between:

>can you fly?

red bull

>i get too many girls

wake up

Impressive answer: What is the largest city in California? http://www.thehansonso.com/search.php?q=what+is+the+largest+...

Confusing answer: http://www.thehansonso.com/search.php?q=What+is+the+second+l...

Terrible answer: http://www.thehansonso.com/search.php?q=What+is+the+largest+... (Don't tell me to try ;-)

On the whole, it seems like a cool project. You have a few improvements to be making, though...
