Which update helped Google get much better at understanding keyword semantics?

The Hummingbird update, launched in 2013, significantly improved Google's ability to understand the meaning behind search queries, rather than just matching keywords. This update focused on semantic search, allowing Google to better interpret conversational queries and the intent behind them. It helped Google understand the relationships between words and concepts, leading to more relevant search results. The Panda update (2011) targeted low-quality content and content farms, penalizing websites with thin, duplicate, or poorly written content. The Penguin update (2012) focused on combating web spam, specifically targeting manipulative link-building schemes and unnatural backlinks. While both were crucial updates, neither primarily addressed semantic understanding in the way Hummingbird did.
