Google Inc. is upgrading its search engine with a new database to provide results with better accuracy and additional information as it pushes back against growing competition.

The service is based on the “Knowledge Graph,” a two-year effort to build a collection of 500 million people, places and things on the Internet that are identified by how they’re connected, said Ben Gomes, a Google fellow. Users will have options for filtering results and may see a summary of relevant content on the right side of the page.
