The Internet Giant Google is set to launch another tool in its popular search engine google.com called the knowledge graph that will provide the users with more relevant search. The new update will be available to desktop users , mobile and tablet users in next few days.

The knowledge graph will be showed up in the right column of the page showing more information regarding the topic.

“The Knowledge Graph enables you to search for things, people or places that Google knows about—landmarks, celebrities, cities, sports teams, buildings, geographical features, movies, celestial objects, works of art and more—and instantly get information that’s relevant to your query,” Amit Singhal, senior vice president of engineering at Google, said in a blog post. “This is a critical first step toward building the next generation of search, which taps into the collective intelligence of the Web and understands the world a bit more like people do.”

The knowledge graph will be powered by Google’s database of over 500 million people to display brief about a topic alongside the main search result. Google will show summary of relevant information about queries as well as list of related topics to make search much easier and convenient.
