Google's John Mueller said on Twitter the other day that "Some of these things really need context to make sense." "I've seen some pretty neat associations work out in search," he added.
This was in response to how does Google know the difference between someone searching for it vs IT (i.e. information technology) or other abbreviations.
Here are the tweets:
