Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing - search technique which allows search engines to answer questions without the use of boolean search techniques. Natural Language Processing is the concept Ask Jeeves was founded on. You can simply "Ask" Jeeves a question and the Ask natural language processing search algorithm will go through your questions and attempt to find the most relevant result.

Other search engines have taken the natural language processing field as well. As time goes on this field will become more and more competitive as search algorithms get smarter.
