Alpha

Alpha is what they call knowledge data base

http://www.wolframalpha.com/

The difference from regular search engines is is designed to deliver well formatted data.

For example, using "Dow Jones" it gives a very nice page with graphs, which can be downloaded along with the raw data from a Mathematica notebook.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is one of the most important indexes in Wall street.

In the same way one can download the information for specific companies such as Toyota or Microsoft.
