Happy 15th birth month, Google! The company celebrated by
announcing that it changed its underlying search algorithm. New search algorithm they call “Hummingbird”, which focuses on
parsing searches as complex questions, that it currently affects 90 percent of worldwide searches via Google. The new engine, is the first change to
Google's core algorithm since the launch of Caffeine in 2010.
Google is trying to keep pace with the evolution of Internet
usage. As search queries get more complicated, traditional "Boolean"
or keyword-based systems begin deteriorating because of the need to match
concepts and meanings in addition to words.
"Hummingbird" is the company's effort to match the meaning of queries with that of documents on the Internet.
