Only big change
The only big change that has been made in the latest Google algorithm is the way people will need to search in order to reach the desired destination or information.

Currently, when we wish to search something we type in your query and Google provides us with countless results that can be somehow linked to the query we are trying to get answered. This is just like a wild goose chase. But will Hummingbird, we will be able to find the exact links that will be related to the whole context of the query.
Smart search
The latest change in Google algorithm is said to be smart search channel. Users will no longer see useless links on the search engine, they will end up with some great and direct answers for the user. This will save time and all the hustle of taking a look at all the links provided on the search page. Hummingbird looks at the context of the queries rather than taking all the words of the query as separate entities.
Why is it difficult?
There is a possibility that new internet marketers or freelancers find it difficult to cope up with such a big change in Google. The major reason behind it is that people are not used to entering direct questions in the search bar. They put in big sentences which lead to countless results on the answer page.

But using Google algorithm we can control this.
