Facebook Graph Search Challenging Google, Yelp, Foursquare and Others

Facebook challenging Google, Yelp, Foursquare and others with both hands by introducing its ‘Graph Search’ -  ‘Mission is to make the world more open and connected’ , ‘the tools to map out their relationships with the people and things they care about’.

Graph Search will appear as a bigger search bar at the top of each page. Graph Search and web search are different from each other. As web search is designed to take a set of keywords and provide the best possible results that match with those keywords. But with Facebook Graph Search you combine phrases to get that set of people, places, photos or other content that's been shared on Facebook. 

Graph Search is a new way for you to find people, photos, places and interests that are most relevant to you on Facebook. Graph Search will help you instantly find others, learn more about them and make connections, explore photos, quickly find places like local attractions and restaurants, and learn about common interests like music, movies, books and more. With Graph Search, you can search for people, photos, places and interests. To do the search in Facebook Graph Search engine, type your search into the blue bar at the top of the page. As you start to type, suggestions appear in a drop down. You can refine your search using the tools on the right-hand side of the page.

Facebook isn’t launching a traditional search engine like Google or Bing is — this is a social search engine, and possibly the one most likely to succeed due to Facebook’s billion-plus user base and the vast amounts of data that users put into Facebook.
