What’s different about wolfram alpha and its limitation?

The different thing about wolfram alpha is that it doesn’t give links to other websites like Google or other search engines. The limitation with wolfram alpha is that it does not have information about everything like some of the other search engines. It only gives information stuff related to calculations such as physics, trigonometry etc.
