Everything about Google Hummingbird
Search engine algorithm used by Google
Hummingbird is the codename given to a significant algorithm change in Google Search in 2013. "Hummingbird" places greater emphasis on natural language queries, considering context and meaning over individual keywords. Its name was derived from the speed and accuracy of the hummingbird. The change was announced on September 26, 2013, having already been in use for a month. It also looks deeper at content on individual pages of a website, with improved ability to link users to the most appropriate page on a website rather than just a website's homepage. Wikipedia →
