A lack of adjectives and factors aside, users would want those results quickly, and scrolling through muck is a waste of time.
This is where Google’s semantic search (via the 2013 Hummingbird update) comes into play. Based mostly on long-tail keyword searches, semantic search identifies how data is related to searched concepts.
