Google at 20: Journeys, AI-driven results and visual search

Image
It’s hard to imagine a life without a search engine that knows what it’s doing. I remember the days of AltaVista and co, search engines that just dump random pages on you for every given query. I was so excited to see Google enter the scene and immediately do everything right — the results were great, it was fast and it had no ads. Didn’t take long before I was hooked. But a lot has happened in the past twenty years and a lot will happen in the next. Starting today, Google is looking to change search for the next twenty years. Google’s Future of Search Event On Monday, Google held a small event to celebrate its 20th anniversary and it took the opportunity to offer a sneak peek at the coming years. Google introduced three paradigm shifts in how it sees search in the future: A shift from answers to journeys A shift from queries to providing a queryless way to get information Plus a shift from text to a more visual way of finding information I’ll dive into this below.

Google Patent on Structured Data Focuses upon JSON-LD

Image
In a search engine that answers questions based upon crawling and indexing facts found within structured data on a site, that search engine works differently than a search engine which looks at the words used in a query, and tries to return documents that contain the same words as the ones in the query; hoping that such a matching of strings might contain an actual answer to the informational need that inspired the query in the first place. Search using Structured Data works a little differently, as seen in this flowchart from a 2017 Google patent: In Schema, Structured Data, and Scattered Databases such as the World Wide Web , I talked about the Dipre Algorithm in a patent from Sergey Brin, as I described in the post, Google’s First Semantic Search Invention was Patented in 1999 . That patent and algorithm described how the web might be crawled to collect pattern and relations information about specific facts. In that case, about books.
