- indigoviolet 16y agoThis is a possibility, I'd have to ask around to see it is the case. If so, I apologize for the snarky tone in my first comment.
- paraschopra 16y agoNo, I spot it now. But I wonder how many people actually realize that you can search the web from within Facebook. It almost looks like a side-feature while I argue that it should be a central feature of Facebook.
- skbohra123 16y agoInterestingly enough, how you made a complete post without actually verifiying the issue . And as a side note, how do you manage to get all your posts hitting to HN homepage?
- paraschopra 16y agoYeah, agree I did not verify but it wasn't an obvious feature and I think my argument is still valid -- Facebook could use search as its central strategy. As far as HN homepage is concerned, I don't know ranking internals but I think it is probably timezone issue -- as of writing this comment, the submission has just 7 upvotes and is still on homepage.
