New Search Technology for Google

I was so excited to know that Google is researching even better search.

Google Voice Search

Google patents “Voice interface for a search engine” which allow user to search by voice.

A system provides search results from a voice search query. The system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each being associated with a weight, from the voice search query, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses. The system then provides the weighted boolean query to a search system and provides the results of the search system to a user.

New Google Search Algorithm

Rather than just sending people off to relevant web pages when a search is performed, Google could now display text answering those queries directly in the Google interface, either as Google-branded answers or as text excerpts from websites it would otherwise be sending people to.
