 + Can Search Engines Play Trivial Pursuit? (http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8ASSSE80.htm)
 |  | 
 |  + Search engines have often lacked the ability to find specific bits of information
 |  | 
 |  + Answers.com and Ask.com (Ask Jeeves) have attempted to fix the problem by accepting searches in straightforward question format
 |  | 
 |  + To test the effectiveness of these improvements, Michael Liedtke of Associated Press used Trivial Pursuit questions
 |  | 
 |  + After inputting the questions and seeing how quickly answers were found, it was determined that...
 |  |  | 
 |  |  + Ask.com and Answers.com only slightly better than Google, much better than Yahoo and MSN
 |  | 
 |  + Sample question: "What glass beads are created when a meteorite strikes the Earth's surface?"
 |  |  | 
 |  |  + Both Ask.com and Answers.com returned the answer (tektites) on the first page of results
 |  |  | 
 |  |  + These engines continued to be fairly successful with other questions
 |  | 
 |  + One question stumped all the engines: "Who was the first Cuban defector to play in Major League Baseball?" Answer: "Rene Arocha"
