This feature is still in beta and you need to sign up and wait before you get to use it. But its features can be seen in a short video that demonstrates its capabilities and <a title=\"Is Zuckerberg voicing \u201cpoke\u201d alert?\" href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/2012\/12\/is-zuckerberg-voicing-poke-alert\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Zuckerberg<\/a> and other employees of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Techdivine\/posts\/518304621542852\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> explain a bit about it too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Until now searching for anything in the Facebook search bar would return results to pages or people which might be what you would have been looking for or way off the mark. It was not intelligent nor could it analyse your likes to return accurate data. Graph Search seeks to change all this. You could put in a search for friends from your native place and the Graph Search algorithm would give you accurate answers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Techdivine\/posts\/518304621542852\" target=\"_blank\">Graph Search<\/a> will make use of your likes, profile data and other information tied to your Facebook account to give a very close estimate or perfect answer to your query. You could enter queries like &#8220;friends born in 1990&#8221; or &#8220;friends in my firm who like chess&#8221;. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/about\/graphsearch\" target=\"_blank\">Graph Search<\/a> will cross reference all the data and show up those friends who have added chess to their interests or have 1990 as their birth year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Graph-Search.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5078\" title=\"Graph Search by Facebook\" src=\"http:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Graph-Search-300x116.jpg\" alt=\"Graph Search by Facebook\" width=\"300\" height=\"116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Graph-Search-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.techdivine.com\/tdblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Graph-Search.jpg 987w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently the feature is focused only on People, photos and interests but it will probably pull in a lot more of your data as it evolves.
