Google Search Gets Smarter

Google is presently smarter at comprehension queries that incorporate superlatives and times, and more complicated questions.

 Superlative queries
 Time-Based queries
 Complicated queries

SUPERLATIVE QUERIES:
Google now understands the superlative words such as coldest, oldest and so on. So you can search queries in Google including the superlative words.

FOR EXAMPLE:
1. Who is the oldest boy at this party?

These are the superlative queries which Google understands nowadays.

TIME-BASED QUERIES:
Google understands the time you mention in your queries.

These are some of the time based queries Google answers nowadays.
