Great article! But I doubt about search queries going to die. As far as I am concerned, there are lots of people searching the web to find answers for their questions.

In reply to Eren Mckay.

Hi Eren, I don’t think people will ever stop using search tools, I just think that the way that they interact with them will change. Perhaps in a decade the text based query and list of links that we have now won’t be the default user experience, in the same way that search as we use it now is different to the first online document retrieval from the 1970s.

Most people ask questions because the response can, and most of the time does, include an answer using the responder’s personal experience. Research put things in black and white and is sanitized. For some, they want to hear an answer, “straight from the horse’s mouth” and not some publication that was put together by a group of scholars. If you asked a question about plumbing, you’d want to know that someone has gone through the same problem and might give an extra piece of advice not generally shown in a “cold, boiler plate” response.

Being ahead of the game, keeping up with how technology is affecting the SERPs and foreseeing how user behavior will evolve is essential for a website to remain competitive. However I don’t believe that search queries will ever die.
All the best,
