Google Knowledge Graph Going Global For English Speakers, Will Appear In Auto-Complete Results
Google just announced two updates coming tomorrow to the Knowledge Graph feature that it launched in May.The Knowledge Graph is the summary that now appears to the right of the results for US searchers. This allows users to see factual summaries related to their search queries (biographies of notable figures, tour dates for musicians, the cast of movies, etc.) and disambiguate their searches (focus their search on Rio the movie, Rio the casino, or Rio de Janeiro the city). Senior Vice President of Engineering Amit Singhal says that since launching the Knowledge Graph, Google has been "able to get users to get users to the right query much faster," adding that "whenever people are able to get to their results faster they search more."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/McGIQVHLbmM/
