My impression is that "search" isn't so much of a solved problem, but the question is changing.

The next–very unsolved–problem is being able to "understand" natural language queries and "understand" source materials such that a user can ask for something and get it.

"Understand" is in quotes because because it means something rather specific.

Is this what is missing to get something like Gmail search working at the same level as web search?
