Facebook now allows you to search for any publication on the social network
The social network Facebook continues to grow step by step. And not only in number of users. So while you add followers to over a billion active users, you continue to work to improve your experience , collect all kinds of information and now also offer it to anyone who seeks itAnd it can start to make things difficult for Google thanks to its latest movement, which consists of activating searches of any content published through your social networkIn other words, look for practically any question through your search engine, without having to do it in Google
To do this, Facebook have been working on improving their search bar. Something that not only serves to find pages and people, but also specific content And it's that, after so many years in operation, and with such a large community, the social network has managed to bring together more than 2 trillion publications An enormous amount of information that now it can be retrieved with a simple search. Almost as if it were the search engine Google. Of course, taking into account that many of these stories can only be found on Facebook A good utility to find some content from the past, but also to be aware of any news or hot topic
This function has only been active, at the moment, for English-speaking users in the United States. Both through the version web of Facebook, as in your apps for Android and iPhone In order for it to function as a normal content search engine, the engineering team has made certain improvements:
On the one hand, the suggestions when searching are now more specific. Just type a few letters of what you want to find to bring up a list of the most current topics.
On the other hand, the possibility of searching for public content from other users has been activated. In this way, it is not only possible to find news and articles shared by groups or pages to follow, but also the content that friends have shared through their walls.Of course, always betting on the most current and shared, trying to filter the contents to find the most interesting for the user who is looking for it.
Finally, it is not only possible to find publications such as articles and videos created for Facebook, or shared through friends' accounts. It is also possible to find conversations and comments about it of all this content. Those messages and ratings that are often offered when a controversial post is shared. Something even more interesting to gossip the opinion of friends and other users regarding certain topics shared on the social network
In short, a function that could conflict with the search engine Google And that is, what need will users have to use this tool if they already have the content on Facebook, where they can also find out who has shared it and what they think about it? At the moment this function has begun to take its first steps.We will have to wait to see if it succeeds among users.
