This is a Wikipedia skill with flexible context recognition. One of the strengths of this skill is the intelligent keyword recognition from the context of the search query. This helps when looking for ambiguous terms, like in the following example: Compare "What is cricket as insect?" vs. "What is cricket as a game?"
The quality of the search result rises and falls with the scope of the appropriate context in the query. In the end, whether the context "fits" depends on the keywords in the Wikipedia article.
