First thing first, what is Facebook Graph Search and how is it different from the existing Facebook search tool? Facebook Graph Search is a semantic search engine conceptualized by Facebook in March 2013. It’s purpose is to allow Facebook users to search for more information than was previously possible. Once launched full-fledged, Graph Search will enable users to use simple phrases and keywords to search for places, things and people and explore the connections between these items. For instance, say you are moving to a new city for a new job. With Facebook Graph Search you will be able to search for friends in the new city. These people could be the friends of your friends or people you have something in common with. With Graph Search, you can pair up keyword phrases like “Photos of” and “coworkers” and “current city” to make new discoveries and explore connections you would probably never have made before Graph Search. Currently Graph Search is only available for limited preview to a restricted number of people using Facebook in English. It is still being rolled out and should be fully available later in 2013.
