The Facebook Graph Search tool is being pushed forth for US users as well as anyone across the globe utilizing the SNS in American English. Ever heard the phrase ‘Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are’? Well, Facebook Graph more or less traipses around this slogan by rendering content that is looked up by social networkers, depending on the list of their folks and pals.
The feature is basically an automated online assistant that proffers a slew of results for various queries that are typed into the search box. For instance, people could hunt for other users sharing similar interests, specific uploaded pictures and more. It came into existence in March this year and has now moved on to the next stage, adopting various enhancements in the process.
Shedding some light on the latest development, the Menlo Park folks remarked that Facebook Graph Search has evolved to deliver faster recommendations and results alike. It has begun to comprehend queries which are punched into the box, in a better fashion. Also, the accuracy of its findings is said to have improved.
In the video attached below, Kari Lee, who is the company’s engineering manager, has compared the product to web search, emphasizing that everyone usually stumbles upon similar information when browsing through a regular engine. As opposed to this, the SNS offers personalized results and different users posing the same query will get varying results tailored for just for them.
For those who find it best to leave certain content out of certain users’ sight, there are privacy settings. These let them monitor who gets to view their personal pictures or other interests when seeking information on a similar subject. Furthermore, the feature dedicated to the mobile app is also in the works.
The company has revealed that Graph Search is a part of a limited beta program. We wouldn’t sweat it if the product isn’t visible with all the new goodies just yet, considering that it will take a few weeks for it to be rolled out completely. While users are at it, they could also check out other features such as static picture support in comments and stay alert for a purported Host Chats.
