Google Knowledge Graph Search Tool Identifies Meanings of Keywords
Reading Time: 2 minutes The Google Knowledge Graph is designed to determine the meanings of keywords as they relate to SERPs.
In addition to providing traditional search results, Knowledge Graph results offer a wide range of answers to search queries directly on the results page.
In other words, instead of finding the correct Wikipedia article that has the answer, the information will appear in a type of Googlepedia display.

- Wikipedia for historical information
- CIA World Factbook for geopolitical answers
- the World Bank for economic facts

Google says the philosophy behind the Knowledge Graph is to help find “Things Not Strings”.
It uses artificial intelligence to determine the meaning of keywords instead of just displaying results that measured the keyword’s themselves.
Their stated goal is to prevent users from surfing through websites that may not be specifically what the user is looking for.
