Facebook[1] Graph Search, a search engine created by the social media behemoth Facebook, was launched in 2013. It was the brainchild of ex-Google employees Lars Rasmussen and Tom Stocky. The purpose of this engine is to deliver search results influenced by the user’s profile, their network of connections, and privacy settings. It operates as a semantic search engine, placing emphasis on the search query’s intended meaning rather than the precise wording. It accommodates searches for individuals, pages, locations, check-ins, and objects within the Facebook network. Unique features of this engine include an auto-complete function and the capacity to sift results by specific time frames and user’s News feed. However, in 2019, the majority of its features were suspended to enhance keyword search functionality. Despite offering a more tailored search experience, its introduction sparked numerous privacy issues.
