"Facebook Graph Search is a semantic search engine that was introduced by Facebook in March 2013. It is designed to give answers to user natural language queries rather than a list of links.[1] The Graph Search feature combines the big data acquired from its over one billion users and external data into a search engine providing user-specific search results."
The feature was developed under former Google employees Lars Rasmussen and Tom Stocky. Lars also co-created Google Maps (and Google Wave) before.
Examples:
- “Friends who Like Star Wars and Harry Potter”
- For setting up a potential date, “Who are single men in San Francisco and are from India”
- For employee recruiting, “NASA employees who are friends with people at Facebook”
- For browsing photos or planning travel, “photos of my friends taken at National Parks”
