Searching without Searching -Introduced by "AMIT SINGHAL"

         Top men at Google are working on a breathtaking new approach to Web search. One of these is Amit Singhal, who characterized the future of search as "searching  without searching." The idea is that Google will have so much data on you that it will know what you want before you do. He is not as well known as Larry page, Sergey brin and of late Sundar Pichai. 

        He is probably the single most important person in Google. The reason why he is such a big deal in Google is because he runs the company's core search operations. He is the man who, who for last 15years, has kept Google the best damn search engine in the world. 

    Singhal famously re-wrote the original Google algorithm that was created earlier by Larry Page. He reportedly changed it completely to suit the existing challenges. This apparently impressed Larry Page so much that Singhal was put in charge of Google's secret sauce -- its search algorithm -- and was tasked to keep it fresh and relevant.

    Specifically, Google search would know about your preferences, hobbies, favorite activities and more. It would know all the events in your life, such as the birthdays and anniversaries of family and friends. It would also scan the Internet for relevant events, as well as social networks for trending topics and breaking news.

         When someone's birthday is coming, it would suggest a gift based not only on what Google knows about that person, but also what it knows about product availability and ship times to make sure the recipient gets the goods on time.

        And Search would make decisions based on its constant review of all your stuff. For example, if there's slow traffic on the way to a meeting on your calendar, it might alert you to leave early.

         Like some kind of sci-fi artificial intelligence robot, Google search of the future will suggest things to you out of the blue, presenting you with search results for things you never searched for -- "searching without searching." And now Amit Singhal announced that he was retiring from Google. Singhal's official designation at Google is " Vice-president" and Google Fellow. The Fellow is particularly noteworthy because this is the title Google gives only to its most distinguishes engineers.
