Guha Ramanathan has been working for Google since 2005. He is the one who helped make Google Search better. He has the patent on a "system and method for disambiguating entities in a web page search." For example; if a user searching for "Asha", he might be looking out for data on the singer Asha Bhosle, the American Saddle Horse Association, the American Speech and Hearing Association, or the American Social Health Association. His patent helps to get a refined search for what you are looking for. Guha also contributed to the "smart browsing" features of Netscape 4.5 and was instrumental in Netscape's acquisition of the Open Directory Project. He holds 48 patents in the company. He currently leads development of Google Custom Search.
