Wolfram Search

Wolfram Research has a large amount of information on its websites that can be very useful to Mathematica users. A web service has been provided that allows users of Mathematica to search the Wolfram Research websites from within Mathematica. This example demonstrates a Mathematica interface to the Wolfram Search web service.

With this web service, a user can query the web documents directly from any application that supports web services. The service is similar to the functionality provided by http://search.wolfram.com.

To try this example, evaluate all the initialization cells (you can do this with the menu command KernelEvaluationEvaluate Initialization). Then go to the examples here.
