Facebook from Thursday, 29 October will launch a feature that will enable its users to search in a manner very similar to a search on the search engine Google to try and find content in over 2 billion messages that are shared each month in social networks. Facebook users will be able to access these functions through the usual search bar on the website facebook.com or via the mobile app.
For example , typing “water” in the box Search, Facebook auto-suggests the popular search terms and phrases in the messages shared by users, such as “water on Mars.” Opening one of the results, the search engine renovated Facebbok provide articles, quotes, photos, videos and related post of friends, groups and other users of Facebook that contain that word or search phrase.
The new feature extends the search functionality on Facebook. The search box that is always present in the top bar of the site has so far allowed us to find content as friends, groups and places. Since October 29, the same search bar will be expanded to allow the search of any type of content and shared on Facebook.
“Facebook has a lot of content, messages and opinions,” said Rousseau Kazi , a product manager at Facebook, who works on search. “Open the search all that is Facebook is a big step,” he said.
With over 1.5 billion searches per day and over 2000 billion archived messages servers of the social network, open the search to all types of content was an inevitable step for Facebook, so that begins to compete against Google, the largest search engine in the world.
Many people do not know about the internet, and often think that ‘Facebook’ is the Internet , for they may have been used to navigate the social networks to follow the social pages of the sites of interest to them neglecting Google . Give the ability for users to search for anything in the internal search engine to Facebook could be a tragedy for Google, considering that 1.5 billion people are on Facebook. People already spend more than 46 minutes a day for surfing Facebook, use its chat program Messenger app or the photo-sharing app Instagram. More people use Facebook, more opportunities will the search engine to find content.
The new search will allow Facebook to strengthen its fight against Twitter, since it allow you to search content on various topics with updates real-time, a bit ‘as the #hashtag on Twitter.
The new search functions on Facebook will be available initially to members of Facebook in the United States, starting from October 29. In the weeks following the operation will be extended to the rest of the world.
It ‘important to remember that the research will be integrated posts shared publicly by users, and therefore not private messages.
