Facebook expands Graph Search to include posts and status updates

Facebook Graph Search will now include posts
and status updates. This means users can search
for status updates, picture captions, comments
and check-ins shared with them on the social
network.
With the new update, users can look for the topics
they are interested in and see what their friends
are sharing with search keywords such as
“Dancing with the Stars" or "Posts about Dancing
with the Stars by my friends.” Users can search
for posts about a city and even posts they want
to see again.
Facebook also makes it clear the updated Graph
Search will show the content that's shared with
you, which includes posts shared publicly by
people who are not friends on the network.
“This is rolling out slowly to a small group of
people who currently have Graph Search and we
will continue to improve this experience by
listening to feedback. Learn more about looking
for posts with Graph Search in the Help Center,”
explains Facebook in a post .
It's notable Facebook's Graph Search so far
searched mainly was in users' profiles or Pages
on the network. The new search engine, launched
earlier this year, is aimed at making the search
results more relevant to users on the social
network. Facebook's Graph search is also
considered as a competition to Google's
Knowledge Graph.
