Search is going to get smarter

Google IO Conference was held this week in which its co-founder Sergrey Brin said that search is going to get smarter. He said that size of the web isn't the problem for Google,as we all know that the internet had grown rapidly when it was started and still it is growing swiftly. He said the reason behind Google success is that how Google retrieves a lot of information from the web. The problem is kind of questions user want answered, and he said that Google is now adding intelligence to its search and Google is planning to start new service which will be similar to WolframAlpha. In this they will combine information from thousands of pages and will put in a table, and it will be better than WolframAlpha hopefully :P. I guess now the war has just begin between search engines that how they attract users by making more intelligent search engines and more functionality and I have very high expectations with Google that they will come up with good ideas and techniques as in the past. Because now the world has changed people’s expectations of search engines have increased and they want the search to be intelligent. And search should be intelligent as the questions are more complex, and people don’t want a link or a page to look for information in it, they want to the point answers and quick results. Microsoft is also launching its “Decision Engine” on Wednesday and will challenge Google. Many people are looking forward to it as it will set new standards for all search companies, lets wait and see what Microsoft can do with “Bing” (Bing.com), but I doubt that it will be a breakthrough in search industry as was claimed by WolframAlpha, but its premature to say anything about it.
