BERT helped Google deliver better search results for nuanced queries such as '2020 Brazil traveler to USA need a visa.'
Google integrated BERT into its search engine to better interpret the meaning of words in queries, particularly for natural language questions. By processing text bidirectionally, BERT can disambiguate words and understand user intent, improving search result ranking and relevance. This significantly enhanced performance for complex and conversational queries, particularly in languages with nuanced phrasing.
