This assumes a simplistic view of how its core search algorithm works, though. It's obvious through even some basic querying that it uses different strategies for recognizing intent based on the nature of the input: single words, addresses, arithmetic, business names, full text queries, etc. There's no reason to think that they will enact this to the detriment of other queries. It _could_ happen, but I am skeptical - optimistic even. As they mention, this improves ~10% of queries. The other 90% likely represent different forms of query input and I would hope remain unaffected.
