Wolfram Alpha sucks

Twice in the last day I've thought "oh, I have a question that's perfect for Wolfram Alpha, 'cause it's all analytical." Twice, it has totally failed me.

The first question was about net-grain exporting nations. It not only failed to answer my question, it didn't understand net, grain, export, or nation. Google answered my question with link #3.

The second question was about converting US print sizes to international print size. Again, nothing. Again, google answered my question relatively quickly.

This is the google killer? Altavista would be better.
