True Knowledge is a search engine that I want to give it a try and its rise has captured a lot of people attention too. The domain name it chosen, subtly billed as a “true knowledge search engine,” was to provide a true knowledge to all its users’ search queries. I recently got a private beta account, and after playing around it for some time, I find it useful when I want to find a specific answer to what I want to know, instead of all the search results that were triggered simply because of some keywords I typed into a search engine’s search bar.

There are few things that users can do with this natural search-based True Knowledge. Firstly, is to find an answer to a question you type into its search bar. Secondly, to view profiles, and the last important one, is to provide new user-generated knowledge by adding some content to its knowledge database. Tue Knowledge has a wonderful Answer Engine that functioning heavily in providing users with terrific answers to some complex questions, and you can also get a grasp of some very good yet complex questions appeared on its front page, such as “Who was president of the US when Barack Obama was a teenager?” “How long was Tony Blair the prime minister of the UK?” and many more. Don’t get me wrong, all complex questions are not exactly related to political issues. You can find some interesting complex questions such as “How many litres in 5 pints?” From the answers this True Knowledge gathered, users can further either to endorse or contradict any fact that the answers provided.

True Knowledge is not just about keyword search. You won’t find any similarity of the search engines you came across on the Web, which included all the keywords or “similar keywords” that triggering the particular search results. Users are encouraged to use plain English, and results are in the forms of “answers,” and good explanation of the answers are expected. This is why they named it as True Knowledge. However, if you typed some questions that True Knowledge can’t provide an answer at the moment, standard results such as external Web pages will be appeared and they also will notify you with a simple statement, i.e. Your request cannot currently be understood (See Picture 2 below).

In overall, I like the founding concepts of True Knowledge, because users will get what they want in their “not only search queries,” and they’ll also know the results appeared are not the Web pages some Adwords sponsors are currently bidding their keywords on.
