Search Now Maps Physical Products
June 21, 2018
Search has slowly been creeping into the real world, but rarely have we seen it making a positive impact on our lives when it does. Until now! A new search engine we discovered bridges the gap between the digital world and the physical world with impressively helpful results. We learned more from a recent LifeHacker story, “See What’s Actually In You Skincare Products With this Search Engine.”
The site is called Incidecoder, and this is what the article had to say:
“You can search for individual ingredients and popular products by name on INCIDecoder, and it will list out all of the ingredients as well as descriptions of what they actually are and what they do. Because while I know what Aqua is, I’m less familiar with PPG-26-Buteth-26 and Ethylhexylglycerin.”
Another way search is sneaking into the real world is in the fashion industry, where AI and predictive analytics can tell designers what look is hot now, but also what trends will pop up in the future. Expect to see more of this trend beyond fashion and beauty aids. This seems like it will be a huge market for blending search and AI into our daily lives.
