This is a search engine for probabilities. Given a query, it searches for relevant questions in various prediction markets and forecasting platforms (namely Betfair, FantasySCOTUS, Foretold, Good Judgment, Good Judgment Open, Guesstimate, GiveWell & OpenPhilanthropy blogposts as of early 2021, Kalshi, Infer, Ladbrokes, Manifold Markets, Metaculus, Polymarket, PredictIt, Smarkets, William Hill, and Michael Aird's database of existential risk estimates). For example, try searching for "China", "North Korea", "Semiconductors", "COVID", "Trump", or "X-risk". This webpage is a search engine for probabilities.
