Google’s search engine will soon be getting a major upgrade, its biggest in five years and one that may render everyday searches much easier.

The tech giant announced Friday that it will be updating its search engine’s capabilities to better recognize full sentences. Historically the search engine has ignored common words such as “can” and “to.”

Google is calling the new software BERT — short for Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, which is a form of language processing.

The update could have a measurable effect on as much as 10 percent of English-language searches on the website. Google is rolling out the new algorithm to U.S. users in the coming weeks, the company said. It did not say when the new search will be unveiled in other countries.
