There are basically two possibilities here: One is for language identification and one is for improving search due to context. On the first one, I recently wrote in my blog (http://www.seo-translator.com) a 4-part series on how search engines identify languages and what to do about it. The recognition of meaning to identify a language is overkill. On the other hand, word recognition so as to achieve the semantic web would be indeed a great achievement, *but* would imply recognition of not just individual words but complete sentences and grasping the meaning of such sentences. A word outside context may have literally thousands of links in many different fields... Unfortunately, though the first one is reality, the second is for many years still a problem that escapes current technology. When solved, however, it will be a revolution that will will make change forever Internet.<!-- Touched by JuLiA --> I believe that though the article is quite correct, it does not properly address the issue of WHY search engines should be able to understand the meaning of words.

I just bought a Droid with an app called Google Goggles. You can take pictures of books, stores, logos etc and it will actually do a search from that image. This is only the beginning.<!-- Touched by JuLiA --> I don’t think the AI technology is that far off. I just bought a Droid with an app called Google Goggles.

Stunning that word interpretation is still to be mastered by machines and success looks weak in the coming few years. Gives a great example of how capable the human brain actually is.<!-- Touched by JuLiA --> Its amazing how Artificial Intelligence has developed in the past half-century.
