Search for sounds from the realm of fiction
Not the first year I have been interested in online news. On duty, many of them are testing. Especially close attention is paid to new search and I like to test them (what I write about in my blog ). Of course, I cannot say that I know everything about searching (and who can? The question is, of course, rhetorical). So - recently I needed to solve a search problem, which, due to the peculiarities of the required information, turned out to be not only unsolvable - I can’t even approximately figure out how to implement it.
At the concert, I heard a famous singer sing a famous English song. I even tried to reproduce the first few lines (but I’m not sure of my English). I would like to find this song and download the corresponding mp3 file. But how? The task is completely unrealizable, in the information field and at the level at which the search engines are now working.
Let's compare the search, for example, in Google with the search, for example, in the audience, where 100 connoisseurs of modern music are sitting. Musicians can try to sing the beginning of the song (melody), and if your voice is not completely terrible and the hearing is not completely absent, then with sufficient fame of the composition there is a high probability that someone will recognize it.

With Google, all this does not pass, naturally, how can you give him a drink?
All these, in fact, trivial reasoning very well demonstrate the difference between algorithmic search and searching in the human environment.
Nevertheless, the authors of startups and scientists are trying to solve this problem and launch a search as close to human as possible - a few days ago the entire Internet actively discussed the announcement of the Wolfram Alpha service.
However, why not dream - and at least mentally transfer to the future, where the task of this kind of search for a melody would be solved. Imagine that the search engines have learned to cope with them. But how to submit such sound information to a search engine? Will Google learn how to shoot a sound stream from a microphone and recognize it? Or will there be a library of samples grouped by genre? What do you think?
