Evolution of search
 Keywords remain important
 Understand the searcher’s intent
 For example, if someone typed in “coffee” do they mean:
 That they want to buy coffee beans?
 Find a local coffee shop?
 Buy or prepare a cup of coffee?
 Are they even talking about coffee or something entirely different like a
coffee making machine?
 Long-tail keywords:
 Search engines try guess because all it has to go on are the keywords
you enter into their engine.
 Semantic search will look at how those words relate to each other and
look for clues on how they were entered…location being crucial
