The Google search service is, for pleasure of some and rejection of others, the best search engine that currently exist on the Internet. The vast majority of users has google as homepage on their browsers, and from there access to (almost) everything you need. However, there is the detail. "Almost" everything. Google has greatly improved the results of their searches, but still has to fight what could be considered the greatest enemy of all search engine users: The semantic interpretation, Google CEO Eric Schmidt used a very appropriate phrase:
"Google needs to move from words to meaning (Understand what the user try to find)." Google's goal is that the search stops making simple comparisons of words, and actually "understand" what the user is requesting. For example, if I write: "Where can I find a good recipe for nachos?" Returns me several sites with the recipe for nachos, but he can not interpret what is "good recipe", or deliver it directly.
In an interview with TechCrunch Sergey Brin (one of the co-funders of Google) said as a joke that the right would be "connected directly to the brain." With that everything would be solved, and Schmidt added: "If you think something, and we knew what you meant, we could run it, and could do it in parallel." Only a fragment of a casual chat between two of the most powerful men on the earth, but even so, what for them was a joke, for others amounts to years of work.
Achieve "just understanding the human brain, or in the distant future will require a physical interface? So all we will see what will happen in a near future. - In TechCrunch.
