At a first glance, this seems to help take 'Google-fu' to the unwashed masses.
If I ever do a search as generic as 'camera', it's very closely followed by a more detailed search (eg, camera olympus "flash time"). Usually, however, my first search is the most detailed, and I become more vague if I require more results.
As I'm sure most of us are aware, this helps quickly deliver the outcome / answer we seek from searching, but I'm continually surprised at how many people bang a series of vague search phrases into a Search Engine and spend time sorting through the chaff.
Google Squared seems to prompt the sort of thinking I either do before hand, or as an immediate result of seeing 8.6M results. Google-fu enhanced.
