Microsoft's new search engine Bing, which is seeking to chip away at Google's dominance in Internet search, is teaming up with WolframAlpha, another rival for the Google crown. WolframAlpha, which was launched in mid-May, announced that starting Wednesday, Bing would incorporate results from WolframAlpha in answers to certain search queries. WolframAlpha calls itself a “computational knowledge engine” rather than the traditional search engine. Unlike Google, which takes a query and uses algorithms to scour the Web and return a series of links to relevant websites, WolframAlpha.com takes a query and crunches through its databases to return answers.
