What should I do when Wolfram|Alpha doesn't give an answer?

Sayth Renshaw
Posted 8 years ago

Evening

Was giving Wolfram alpha a try for the first time this evening and couldn't think of a question, so based on the intro video to wolfram "GDP of France example" I thought I would simply ask:

S&P ASX 200 versus S&P Europe 350 stock market indices historical comparison?

This crashes wolfram with no results without words such as "historical comparison" it returns a suggestion of a Mitsubishi Outlander. As a new user I may be doing something wrong for the capability of wolfram I suspect this is an easy question however it cannot find an answer or offer suggestion to refine search what should I do?

You can do one of two things:

1) Check http://www.wolframalpha.com/examples/ to learn more about what kind of input Wolfram|Alpha can handle

2) Use the Wolfram Language either in Mathematica or Mathematica Online. This allows you to write more structured queries.

To begin with, what would the ticker symbols be for these indices?
