Hummingbird

Google's search algorithm update released in 2013 focused on understanding the intent behind search queries.

Description

Hummingbird is a significant update to Google's search algorithm that was launched in 2013. Unlike previous updates that concentrated mainly on individual keywords, Hummingbird aims to understand the intent behind users' search queries, providing more relevant and precise results. This algorithm takes into account the context and meaning of words, rather than just matching keywords. By doing so, it improves the accuracy of search results and enhances user experience. Hummingbird also supports conversational search, allowing users to type or speak queries in a natural, human-like way. This update is particularly important for long-tail keywords and voice search, helping websites that offer valuable, in-depth content to rank better.
