A dump of the current revisions of all English Wikipedia pages is just 31GB - that's less than 5% of a 750GB, which are common nowadays.
But Wikipedia and newspapers don't really have structured data you can query; except for those small boxes and some tables, most Wiki articles are just a blob of text.
Besides, Wolfram|Alpha already gives you results based on structured data by answering more complex queries than simple substring matching, but I don't see anyone using them as a replacement for Google.
