Google's Focus is Mobile Search
“When it comes to major changes, there’s little mystery as to the ones Google’s search team regards as most significant. Search czar Singhal can tick them off easily. “The huge thing was the Knowledge Graph (Google’s vast organization of the world’s data) — as soon as you build that, you basically know facts about real world things. And the second piece is voice — because I really can’t type here,” he says as he gestures to the Samsung smart watch on his wrist. “And then we realized that we need some science behind predictions, so that people don’t have to ask all the time, and that’s where we built Google Now.”
Knowledge Graph structures the world’s information in a vast database. Voice Search incorporates spoken language into Search. Google Now tells what people want to know before they ask. All three, not coincidentally, are tied to Google’s focus on mobile.”
It’s clear how important Google thinks mobile search is – their three biggest search innovations have all been targeted at improving mobile user experience, as they expect that to be the most frequent use case for search.
This leads to the question, is mobile search as important for the legal sector as it is for consumers?
