If you just read my article you will see that. I'm not expecting WolframAlpha to return results for "the best websites on real estate", I'm asking simple questions or entering facts like the birthdate of the former president or "telephone inventor". For me that's called knowledge. If you find anything in the article above where you think WolframAlpha should not return results in contrast to what I expect I would very much appreciate if you could point this out so that we can discuss that case by case.

Wolfram Alpha isn't a search engine, and people shouldn't expect it to behave like one. It's a COMPUTATIONAL KNOWLEDGE ENGINE. It tells you FACTS. Not links to sites that may or may not be factual.
