CNBC has been touting it all morning. What is it and how is it different?

So they are creating or have created this huge data base and are making it easy to quarry it. To use an example of a question CNBC highlighted today. How often has the S&P lost ground in October during year with off year elections since 1980? The answer they said was none. How useful is this type of information? How much you be willing to pay for it? There has to be something more to it than that, I think. I know they said it work across all markets, but still....... I was hoping somebody had an idea for a use for it other than answering market trivia. If you are a trader (and I know there are some who post here), what kind of questions would you ask it? Just wondering!
