We are using in my company. We imported the whole database into a graph db and we are running queries/marking entities in order to enable things like contextual/semantic search. It is a pretty good database. This is what enables you to search for things and not strings (as Google does).

"Introducing the Knowledge Graph: things, not strings"

I wish Google would just search for strings the 60% of the time it doesn't know the thing I'm looking for but really, firmly, and persistently thinks it does. Like it used to. It should get the hint and switch methods somewhere around or before the 10th page of useless, mostly identical results.

Isn't this kind of the purpose of the 'verbatim' search setting?
