The Google Search of the future is here Now. The long-talked-about semantic web search — Google prefers “Knowledge Graph” — is introduced across all Google Search tools, and our most fundamental on-line task might never be the same again.
Beginning today, a huge portion of Google Search results will work with you to initiate what you actually meant by that search entry. Type in an ambiguous query like kings (which could mean royalty, a sports team or a now-cancelled TV show), as well as a new window will appear on the right side of your result literally asking you which entity you meant. Click on of those options and your results will be filtered for that search entity.
As Ben Gomes, Google guy, states, Google is fundamentally switching from strings to things.
To understand the gravity of this change, you require to know about the essential changes going on behind the scenes at Google Search. As they outlined in our document earlier this year, Google is switching from simple keyword recognition to the identification of entities, nodes and relationships. In this world, New York is not basically the combination of keywords that can be recognized. It is understood by Google as a state in the U.S. surrounded by other states, the Atlantic Ocean and with a whole bunch of other, relevant attributes.
That's plenty of things. According to Google, search users will see these new knowledge graph results at least as often as they see Google Maps in results. In fact, this update will have a greater preliminary impact than the updates that brought Google Images, videos, news and books, combined. It is massive and its probably going to be all over the place.
To build this world of things, Google is tapping a variety of knowledge databases, including Freebase, which it bought in 2010, Wikipedia, Google Local, Google Maps and Google Shopping. Currently, Google Knowledge Graph has over 500 million people, places and things and those things have at least three.5 billion attributes.
