Natural Language Search Background
* In 2012, Google introduced the Knowledge Graph which is capable of recognizing queries related to individual entities, inlcuding sports teams and celebrities.
* After which, Google was able to answer questions like how old is a celebrity, or how did a sports team do on their last game.
* On Google’s latest update, the mobile app for iOS and Android is capable of understanding the meaning behind complex queries by breaking them down into semantics.
Although it isn’t perfect yet, Google encourages users to ask questions using your natural language. The more complex a question is, the more it tries to understand and answer the question correctly.
