This news might have shaken Google, with a better algorithm coming into play which boasts of accuracy as high as 47% to that of Google.
And the man behind this is a 10th-grade student, Anmol Tukrel an Indian-origin Canadian citizen, who with his majestic thought built his personalized search engine bettering google, with 21% more accurate on average.
Tukrel says, it demanded few months to design and at about 60 hours to code, and all it needed was a python language development environment, a spreadsheet program, and 1-gigabyte storage space.
This achievement seems massive, as he can topple one of the largest tech firms down the ladder if he can get in the right direction. And for a 10th-grade student, this accomplishment is astonishing at such a tender age.
Tukrel also runs a company "Tacocat Computers" through his parents consent, and was also in India for a two-week internship at Banglore based IceCream Labs, an adtech firm.
He prepared this as a submission into Google Science fair, and he learned to code in 3rd standard and went on to develop his skills since then.
The search engine he designed does a better job as it relates and laps beyond the location, apps installed on one's computer or mobile and browsing history, it also looks for content and text and sees deep into the content and then relates it back to the end user.
To check the results, he limited the searching to this years NewYork Times articles and compared it with google.
It would be amazing if it worked for a large collection of data, it would transform the search engine scope with better results, and help us handle our things more efficiently.
Let's see where this boy is headed to, Hope he embeds himself into one of the jewels of the crown.
