There's also the similar AskTheWiki extension, which is unreleased, but you
can see it in action at http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Special:ATWSpecialSearch.
It presents structured interpretations of a text query and lets you browse
facets of the results once you have chosen the correct query interpretation.
I'm doing some work with its developer and we're planning to add the ability
to output the results using Semantic Result Formats.
