I think Wolfram invited it. They had data sources in Mathematica and didn't try to show how that was analogous or mention it in the hyped built up. I think they are hoping that it will be something as important as Google or Wikipedia though different.

Yep, "Google Killer" gets more publicity than "Mathematica + datasets online".

NB: we're still talking about it: the message will reach everyone who might need it, with zilch advertising budget.

BTW: much as I agree it's not a search engine, I just added it as a search engine to FF, for convenience: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=wolfram (I got the middle one, by phoque)
