Wow, it’s real big, to claim that 90% search is solved. Personally, I feel that it’s not even 10% or 20% solved. How many times we can find something from just 1 or 2 search. many times, it will be trial and error until we get it right.

Google hasn’t run out of things to do. She’s just saying that Search (like many proven technologies) has matured. Frankly, I fear that Google will take on too many projects and be the next Microsoft.

So is Google supposed to read your mind?

But would these algorithms produce more than a 10% improvement to what google’s already doing? Probably not. My point is that Google continues and will continue to tweak it’s algorithms and SEO companies will continue to find ways to the top. But search *as most people use it* (e.g. searching for a single term) will continue to dominate online activity and $ and will remain unchanged.

How about multilingual search? That’s definitely not solved. Natural language search? Not solved in any way. Any I agree with the comment above that human interaction hasn’t changed since 1995, there’s a lot of work to be done there.

Listen up Google, Search is not 90% solved. It ain’t even 50% solved.

The business model of Search and Ads maybe 90% solved.

But the business model of AI Search and Live Online Purchasing - hasn’t even begun.

Perhaps it look really big the 90% but she is one of the experts of the field, so I will take her words more seriously…

There are a number of searches that are far from being solved. Of course, many have to do with data collection. Search algorithms aren’t difficult if you have the data. Here are some examples:

- List all the public tennis courts within 5 miles of my house, including which ones are lighted (and the hours of operation).
- List all of the restaurants that will deliver food to my home after 12 midnight.
- List the closest public facility (restaurant, library, etc.) that is currently open and has Wi-Fi access within 3 miles of my current location.
