In this era of confusing the use of a search engine with Googling, it is high time to explore alternative ways of searching the internet.
A case in point is Wolfram Alpha, a self-styled computational knowledge engine that allows you to view the results of your queries in quite a different way than Google.
Wolfram Alpha is robust in terms of data and displays results in a very easily read way. Look at these examples, one dealing with life expectancy the other with General Electric. Every section is accompanied by a reference to the source of the information, simply mouse over the relevant section and click the book icon.
Wolfram Alpha is especially suitable for statistics and can be used as a calculator.
