Google talks about the ultimate search engine

Published on November 12, 2009 by Last Click News   ·   No Comments

IDG, the news service provider, recently sat down for an interview with Melissa Meyer, Google’s vice president for search products and user experience. She described what would be the perfect search engine, a description that she hopes Google will become some day.

Meyer said that the perfect search engine would be one “that could understand speech, phrases, what entities you’re talking about, concepts. It would be able to search all of the world’s information, [find] different ideas and concepts, and bring them back to you in a presentation that was really informative and coherent.”

Regarding semantic search, Meyer said that it is difficult to scale and sufficiently advanced algorithmic search can understand semantics on its own.

Since 2007, Google has been working towards creating a Universal Search engine. For now, it remains the most powerful search engine in the World Wide Web.
