Many times we find Google able to give appropriate answers when you are looking
for something, especially with their built in calculator/formulae/conversion and other
tools integrated in search. Today I wanted to know when was Deepavali (note the Tamil
word I am using here instead of Hindi Diwali) this year. Without thinking much, I
typed in IE 7 Search Box Deepavali
2007and to my surprise I got the correct answer from Live Search. Check
out the screen shot below. Google didn't understand what I wanted and gave me
usual web links as results :-)
Interestingly, Live Search seemed to know about most of the Indian Festivals including
Pongal, Holi and others. Impressive stuff by Microsoft, please keep it up.
