Google Hummingbird is part of the main Google search algorithm and was the biggest change to their algorithm since 2001.
Hummingbird is more about being able to understand search queries better, particularly with the rise of conversational search.

It is believed that Hummingbird is positively impacting the types of sites that are providing high-quality content that reads well to the searcher and is providing answers to the question the searcher is asking, whether it is implied or not.
