Google Search has now gotten smarter when it comes to answering more complex questions.
Google’s Search has gotten smarter and can now answer more complex questions with references to time, place, etc.Google’s Inside Search blog posted about the development and notes that the “Google app is starting to truly understand the meaning of what you’re asking.”
The feature works across desktop and mobile search on Android and iOS.
According to Google, the app will now break down the query to understand the semantics used in the questions. It can understand superlatives like tallest, largest, etc and you can thus type for questions like “What are the largest cities in Texas” or “What are the largest cities in Iowa by area,” and expect an answer.
