Searching with Google, can a Search Engine be Intuitive?

Searching with Google, can a Search Engine be Intuitive?

Google is certainly cracking down on relevancy when it comes to ranking, no more free rides to get yourself
listed on the home page, in rank position 10 or better.  Which leads us to go back to what we initially discussed years ago regarding relevant content and the user experience.  How much time would you want to take to find what you are looking for.  Besides incorporating smart search into the functionality, intuition needs to be present, imagine, a Search Engine reading your mind based on what you are searching for, how can that be?

Here is an example, enter a search term such as health care and the search engine returns a page with the first list of results starting with alternative health care, and you think...wow, I did not type in the word "alternative" yet the search result page served up alternative health care as the first choices to choose from.  This is intuitive search results, no wonder, our big brother Google has been practicing the inspiring teachings of Eckhart Tolle, view the video of Mr Tolle at Google.


It is amazing to see the transformation and shift of our world for the better taking place, though there is still much resistance to alternative solutions.  In any case, expect search engine result pages to include relevant information based on your history and interests, incorporating social media correspondence.  Its a shame to say that if you wanted to keep yourself under the covers a bit and private that this evolving social networking internet has eradicated that  possibility, which actually may be a good thing.  Networking, marketing and exposure is essential if you plan to succeed, so if you plan to search and are not to sure what your searching for, don't worry, the search engine will figure it out for you, remember its all about being intuitive, as Pooh says "you feel it".  Until next time, have a great day!
