I will have much more excellent examples for my next post on Freebase, coming soon- stay tuned. Thanks for the update, Will, the search doc is most helpful.

Google obviously implements something like that with its "did you mean..." feature, but Google is primarily a search engine,and spends untold millions on their search technology. It would be more fitting to compare Freebase's search with Wikipedia's abysmal search feature. elzr, I haven’t encountered Lucene search before, so I’m pretty impressed with the concept of fuzzy searching.

Freebase does indeed look cool. Thanks for this intro! (Though Lucene Search Syntax by itself is rather bland y'know--by and large already implemented by Google, by and large marginally mention-worthy, minor symbolic gimmicks from a pre-Google age.) Anyway, I'm reading up on Freebase and I'm liking what I see--Danny Hillis is behind this? You would have had me at that. :) Whoa! Freebase does indeed look cool. Thanks for this intro!

You also brought our attention to the fact that our documentation made it sound like we support the full set of lucene query syntax. We just fixed <a href="http://www.freebase.com/view/helptopic?id=%239202a8c04000641f80000000042b09d1" rel="nofollow">our docs</a> to be more specific about which syntax we do support. Thanks for the very informative post! Hi there, I’m glad you like our search feature, and I love the “metal” example.
