Google has 'lapped Siri' with sci-fi-like search

Google has an image of the future of search, and it's a bit sci-fi.

Google developers envision users talking to their computers much like the characters on Star Trek did. Want to know where the closest grocery store, or planet system, is? Simply speak your question to the computer. And it will speak its answer to you.

"It's the end of search as we know it," said Amit Singhai, a senior vice president and software engineer at Google, speaking at the Google I/O keynote on Wednesday. The company laid out its plan for the future of search, talking about a search engine that not only answers your questions but has a conversation with you and offers information before you even ask for it.
