So, how is Google doing with their semantic search engine?

So basically a search for ‘socks on sale’ will show YouPorn for the next hundred and fifty results.

#1, AND, it would take a month to get it back….

Sure beats hell out of posting a note on Wikipedia and finding 38 corrections before you release the mouse button….

I’m still trying to figure out how to enter Prince’s formerly known “name” when he became “The band formerly known as Prince” which is a symbol that does not appear on any keyboard I have ever researched on Google, thus, the engine is useless in my studies of language.

The new semantic search engine seems to yield better results in technology / space program searches, as far as I can tell. Seems like a better “context” result based on 4 – 8 keywords.
