Each week Powerset is showing off a new query that highlights it’s awesome job at determining exactly what a user is searching for, through natual language processing. Last week we showed you the query “politicans who died in office.” This week, the query is “what senators wrote a book?” and they’ve returned some promising results once again, including John McCain, Barbara Boxer, and the first book ever written by a senator.

I’d just like to point out the grammar though… shouldn’t it be “which senators wrote a book?” I guess we can chalk that up to Powerset’s great processing engine - it even understands improper grammar!
