Still not as cool as Google Squared, where 10 years ago, you could create rows of any nouns and cols of any adjectives, and it would automagically research and fill out all the data for you according to its best guess. Create rows of car models, cols of price, seating, horsepower, safety rating, stuff like that.


That’s all in Google Knowledge Graph. They dropped it because it makes finding information too easy. And hence, competitor search engines could get info out of it super cheaply.
