When searching for hot topics,
many internet users will visit Twitter to monitor the progress of the news.
However, this habit may change because Facebook Search feature has been
enhanced so users can find out the hot topics that are being discussed by
people all over the world.
Facebook explains that there are
about 1.5 billion searches performed by users every day. The number of posts
that are successfully indexed is around 2 trillion. This makes Facebook feel
that the Search feature should become an important part of daily operational.
So if previously you can only know
the opinion of your friends or family about certain topic through News Feed,
now you will also be able to find out the opinions of strangers, of course the
main requirement is the shared posts should be public.
Previously Facebook Search will
display a list of people, page, or events that contain your search terms, now
Facebook will also add the hot topics in the search results. For example, when
you type ‘water’, Facebook Search will also display the hot topics related to
water, such as 'water on Mars' that's being much talked about in this
moment.
When you click on the search
results, then you will be greeted by a page that's containing posts from
various sources related to the topics you want to know. Facebook Search even
will also feature public conversations related to a link, no matter whether you
know the person or not.
This is the first step of Facebook efforts to help users in
finding interesting contents in addition through the News Feed. The new version
of Facebook Search can be enjoyed on Android, iOS and desktop - in the
condition that you have to use English language in the settings.
