Wolfram Alpha Results Finally Show Up In Bing

Ever since Microsoft launched its Bing search engine last May, there's been buzz that it's been talking with Wolfram Alpha to license some of its search data. In August, I was able to confirm that a deal had indeed been struck between the two. Today, Bing is finally rolling out its first integration with Wolfram Alpha for searches around diet and nutrition. Whenever you do a nutrition or diet-related search on Bing , it will serve up structured data from Wolfram. For instance, a search for any food item will bring up a nutrition tab and summarize nutrition facts about that kind of food, including the total fat in a single serving, along with the percentage of the recommended daily allowance that represents and other nutritional data. The results will be marked as "computed buy Wolfram Alpha." Wolfram will also power a body mass index (BMI) calculator which lets you enter your height and weight, and calculates your BMI.
