They may not be Yahoo but the whole semantic web tech is a good way to go i guess .

The whole natural language processing thing hasn' t been perfected yet but once its done it will be the way things are done on the web . But as of now Google will suffice .

They' re developing a natural language search engine to compete with keyword engines like Google and Yahoo.

They' ve got a beta running Here if you want to try it out. With any luck, Microsoft will throw tons of cash at them, and it' ll replace the abysmal Windows LIVE.[:' (]

Lol . Its nothing like answers.yahoo.com ... People post answers there . Powerset aims to provide an engine where the engine provides you the answer .
