Facebook Graph Search is not yet released for everyone, however, the social network already published some examples of the new social search best practices. Facebook believes that people don’t use it actively and don’t know its full potential.
Therefore, in a recent blog post the company highlighted a few examples of searches: videos, old photos of friends, my engaged friends, images from popular news sources.
There are also examples related to the location: hotels nearby the sightseeings, ski resorts visited by your friends, your places, applications and videos that your friends like, recommendations from the people with the similar interests.
Facebook added a new feature to the mobile functionality, which helps users to find friends and other people by location.
Former founder of the ambitious, but failed Google Wave project, Lars Rasmussen, is now a part of Facebook team and working on a new, improved version of the Facebook search engine, which must compete with the Google’s one.
Google announced integrating social media in to latest search engine. They managed to do so without mentioning Facebook in an entire blog post.
