Google hasn’t stopped tinkering with its search engine, looking to innovations and in particular an algorithm to transform searches for answers to complex questions. This new technology, which is at the moment still at the project stage, could one day spark a revolution in search.

“Google it.” “Ask Google.” For decades, people have been asking Google just about everything. Tomorrow’s weather, cooking recipes, tips for cleaning certain surfaces, information on skin problems, existential questions and much, much more. And the tech giant can answer all these questions pretty well thanks to its huge range of data and articles.
