Serving basic, straightforward questions to Google Search has always returned solid results. Need scores to that Houston Rockets game? Wondering when Eddie Murphy was born? Easy. Rarely has the search engine faced difficulties answering questions that require simple facts. Complex questions, though, have been troublesome as Google Search wasn't drawing upon different areas to supply a direct answer. Most of the time, a complex question would return a myriad of generic search results. Google announced today that complex questions are now welcome to Google Search.
The Google app is starting to understand the meaning of what you're asking.
Google's piecing it all together
Google Search is now able to respond to superlatives, ordered items, particular points in time, and complex combinations.
Try out these example complex questions:
- Who are the tallest Mavericks players?
- What songs did Taylor Swift record in 2014?
- What was the U.S. population when Bernie Sanders was born?
Since this feature is completely new and rather complex itself, Google understands there will be mistakes. The Knowledge Graph is always growing and Google is working hard to make sure that your searches and questions have a clear answer.
