Well, I'd like to throw something into the mix regarding this applied semantics and the analysis of terms.

Travel industry site

Search for "city all inclusive hotels"; site not found in top 1000.

However, a search for "city inclusive hotels"; site returns to pre-Florida top positioning.

I happen to know that the term "all inclusive" is considered a highly competitive term, as well as the city and the hotels term.

Applied semantics should have an effect on the word "inclusive" if it was analyzing individual terms. Instead, it only seems to effect the complete keyphrase of "all inclusive". I still think there is a dictionary of terms that the new algo is being applied to but how that works in with the actual algorithm is still a puzzle.
