This week, developers are set to unveil Wolfram|Alpha, a new type of search engine that tries to give factual answers to questions, not just point to web pages about a topic. Search giant Google is responding with new tricks of its own, including contextual menus, new views of search results, and automatically-updating spreadsheets. We'll look at what's next in online searching with Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of SearchEngineLand.com.
