Google now understands more conversational search queries

That's made possible by implementing a neural network-based technique for language processing called Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, or BERT, which gives Search the power to recognize the importance of word sequences.

Now, Search prioritizes results with instructions on how to prescription filled for someone else, which is what you'd mean with a query like that.

For now, BERT will only be applied to English-language searches made in the US, but Google plans to expand its reach to more regions and languages over time.
