    It analyzes and makes sense of billions of pages in order to provide the most relevant search results. The update included a major rewrite of Google’s entire algorithm, affecting more than 90% of search results.The Hummingbird update is capable of understanding longer and more complex searches. For example, it’s highly tuned for conversational search. That means search queries will use more keywords and the results will be more targeted.

    Hummingbird is paying more attention to each word in a query, ensuring that the whole query — the whole sentence or conversation or meaning — is taken into account, rather than particular words.

    In hummingbird algorithm update semantic search becomes important. It gives importance to the entire query & not just keywords. Also, search pattern, history, device types, location, time of day become important in this update.

    Hummingbird is more about being able to understand search queries better, particularly with the rise of conversational search.

    It is believed that Hummingbird is positively impacting the types of sites that are providing high-quality content that reads well to the searcher and is providing answers to the question the searcher is asking, whether it is implied or not.

    Hummingbird also impacts long-tailed search queries, similarly to how RankBrain is also helping those types of queries.

    The "Hummingbird" update was the first major update to Google's search algorithm since the 2010 "Caffeine" search architecture upgrade, but even that was limited primarily to improving the indexing of information rather than sorting through information.

    Google Hummingbird is a project that seeks to improve the Google search engine experience for users by going beyond keyword focus and instead taking into account the context and all of the content in the entire search phrase to provide more of a natural-language, or conversational, approach to search queries.

    Hummingbird is the codename given to a significant algorithm change in Google Search in 2013. 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.
