Google announced a major change in search functionality

Google's search engine (Google Search) accounts for a large part of the lives of those who use the Internet to the point that 'Google' becomes a verb for finding something.

While rarely changing, but when this tool is improved, the world always pays attention here.Along with the 20th anniversary, Google announced it would make significant changes on its search engine.

The first 20 years of Google

Ben Gomes, Google's vice president of Search, News and Assistant, has just introduced new points on Google's blog.It seems that refusing the allegations that Google's search results have political prejudices, he said, the information Google gives will focus on users, the goal is to bring high-quality, relevant information. to users along with algorithms and testing before making changes.

20 years and more

Along with the new milestone that Google is approaching, they also announced new changes that Gomes said will help people 'access information anywhere'.

The 'new chapter' of the Google search engine will include 3 major changes: moving from answers to journeys, switching from queries to providing information, moving from text to visualization to find information.

With artificial intelligence, Google plans to improve how AI understands language, creating things that 20 years ago could not do.

AI will play an important role in the subsequent changes of Google Search

The idea is that artificial neural networks help search by concepts instead of just words.Gomes explains that 'using neural networks is the approach used in artificial intelligence networks, helping to translate words into expressions of concept and then matching query concepts with concepts in text' .

This is called 'neural matching', which allows answering questions with more accurate results, even if no words are used.

Changes in the search engine

The first change is that when you visit the Homepage on your phone, you will see a new version of Google feed introduced last year called Discover.It will display the content and articles related to what Google knows about you.

In addition, you will see information tags and images called Activity Cards, located at the top of the search results, showing previous searches and activities if Google finds it useful for the current search.If not, you can delete it.

Featured Video displays in a circular manner if the search is related to a video.There will be an additional tab with information on topics that are commonly searched for enhanced topics.There is an option to save the search named Collections.

Many services also switched to Stories, so Google, too, like Instagram or Snapchat, AMP will have both text, video and images.

Search by image will have higher quality and priority on the pages used, with Lens integration to determine what you find by image.
