Facebook has newly introduced its Graph Search which has advanced the searching of content over the internet. Many of us think that both the Google Search and the graph search are quite similar. But actually, there are many differences between the two search engines. You would be surprised if I tell you that the Facebook Graph search has taken over the Google search engine. This is because, in Google search engine, the search is based only on the keywords which we enter. But, in Facebook Graph Search, this is not the case. Here, the search results are based on the natural language and the results include only those which suit your needs. So, this means that, using Graph Search, you can easily get best results without having to change the keywords again and again to get the results you require. If you are willing to learn more about the new Facebook Graph Search and whether it really dethrones the Google Search engine, read on to know.
Do your search in a more social way
Well, one of the big differences between Facebook Graph Search and Google search engine is the method of browsing for information. In the newly introduced Facebook Graph Search, the search results include only those which are liked by people in your network. Hence, you can browse for information in a much easier way. And, this type of method was introduced in Google+ too. But unfortunately, it did not prove to be a success. Facebook, on the other hand, has invented the social way of searching and has also proven to be a success.
It enables multi-dimensional searching
This is another special feature invented by the new Facebook Graph Search. Whenever you search for information on a particular topic using Google Search, you are only provided with short and to-the-point answers. But, in the FB Graph Search, you are provided with links that are suggested by friends who would have looked for the same. Well, I will give you a small example to help you understand better. Just imagine that you are looking for hotels in a town or city. In Google Search engine, you just get to know the name of the hotels and no other details. But, in the FB Graph Search, you can see each and every hotel in a specific area which is visited by your friends.
Making professional contacts for a job
For all your advertised posts, you can contact many professionals easily with the Facebook Graph Search. However, you do not have to waste your time by changing the keywords again and again for better and refined search results. This is because, in Graph Search, the search results will be limited and you can easily find your match. We all very well know that people usually do not tend to get in contact with those who are searching for jobs. So, in Graph Search, you will be given with a more refined search which has only potential employers.
Getting Facebook fans to like your page
Generally, when we run a page about our company, we find it difficult to get more likes. So, many companies usually spend a lot of time paying people to get likes or even looking for people to make their website popular. But, if you are using the Facebook Graph search, you no longer need to worry about this matter. Using this, you can gain many fans easily. It has many filters you can make use of to earn money. So, why spend money unnecessarily to gain fans when the Graph Search is easily available to target your audience?
The major shortcoming of the graph search
We cannot deny the fact that the Facebook Graph Search is really great with many unique features. But, there is also a disadvantage associated with it. The main purpose of Graph Search is to search for jobs and it actually does not prove to be helpful when it comes to searching for employees. Many tell that this is because people do not provide accurate data in their FB accounts and thus, it is not a wise decision for an employer to look for employees here.
Coming to the conclusion, the question still remains unanswered whether Facebook Graph Search has really taken over the Google Search engine. Well, this really depends on what type of information we search over the internet.
