@semanthicc Google isn't *shifting* toward graphs, it long ago made that shift and there's no turning back. With the Knowledge Graph in 2012, Google shifted from generating lists of ranked document summaries that might have the facts a user is looking for to doling out the facts directly. @semanthicc And while the Knowledge Graph may not represent the whole of Google's query response real estate, the entity-based approach it engenders has impacted all of Google's search. Whatever you query, Google's now try to figure out what you *mean& and respond accordingly.
