Facebook is taking a social approach to online searching by introducing a new social search engine called Graph Search. Using this personalized search engine you can uncover information that is relevant to you. You can for example search for music your friends like, search for photos of your friends, search for friends who share your interests, and more. To put it bluntly, you can look up anything that was shared with you on Facebook.
Type in a query like “photos of my friends in Paris” and you will be provided a list of images your friends took in Paris.
Type in something like “Music my friends like” and you will be presented with a list of artists and bands your friends like.
Say you’re into kiteboarding and you want to see which of your friends also like the sport. Enter the query “people who like kiteboarding” and you will get an answer.
These are just a few search queries you can perform using Graph Search. You can try a search by clicking here and you can take a closer look at the type of functionality Graph Search has to offer by clicking here.
