Hey this is really cool.

Brainboost calls itself an answer engine and not a search engine.

What brainboost does is take questions and attempt to answer it. These are some questions that I got the correct answers for (of course you have to search for the most relevant one in the list of answers provided).

When was Gandhiji killed? Who is Bharat Shetty? What is Websphere MQ? etc etc etc

But of course there are certain questions which it couldn’t answer well.

In simple terms, questions like what, where etc would probably be answered well. But for others it needs some work.

Suppose my question contains a word, I expect the site to search for all relevant words - for example, for killed it should also include assasinated, murdered etc, but it doesn’t do that.

We can rate Brainboost somewhere between a chat-bot (which they say it is not) and a normal search engine. And ya, it is better than Ask which just gives results and doesn’t try to answer them.
