In January 2013, Facebook first rolled out its new Graph Search feature. For the users who signed up for the beta run Facebook was transformed into their own personal search engine. You could suddenly pinpoint all of your friends who checked in at a certain location, was tagged in a photo with a another friend or liked a celebrity. While most users had an inkling of how much information Facebook held, they could barely conceive of searching through it themselves. With natural easy to use language, Facebook graph search lets the user search other users likes, places, music, photos, groups, current cities and more. It is important to remember that Facebook applies your current privacy settings to graph search. This means that if you have your profile set to only friend or only in my networks those groups of people will be the only ones who will see your information in their searches.
This just scratches the surface of the new search feature. Watch our new video to find out more.
