Google’s New Search Algorithm Humming Bird Gets Launched

Google HummingbirdOn its 15th birthday Google launched a new search algorithm that is “Humming bird”. It is designed to provide faster and precise results. This algorithm is all about semantic search, which mainly focuses on visitor’s intention rather than individual search or words.

According to Danny Sullivan Hummingbird gives more attention to the meaning of the sentence rather than single words. This means, pages that match the meaning of the sentence give better results than pages that match only a few words. Humming bird is an expansion of Google’s capability. The search engine professional David Amerland said that “Google has improved its ability to deal with the most complex searches.
