This is an area that's dear to me, I'm the cofounder of Vectara and have been working with embedding-based semantic search, aka neural search or neural IR, since 2017. To whether Google uses semantic search, the answer is yes, very heavily [1][2]. Not only that, but they have led, and continue to lead, much of the pioneering research in NLP and neural IR for the past decade [3][4][5]. Technical challenges lie along a few primary dimensions. The first has been search quality, because, while early neural systems like Google Talk to Books [5][6] demonstrated the potential of these techniques…
