Interesting to compare against Path (they announced search on 12/20 - http://www.wired.com/business/2012/12/path-social-archive/ http://www.wired.com/business/2012/12/path-social-archive/): Path: search personal events; discovery via proximity (nearby) Facebook: search graph events; discovery via common interest Seems like facebook trying to hone in on cases like dating (discovering people with common interests), and interest discovery (ie, restaurants that others like). Path seems more about making most of personal time (creating life events) in the context of a social environment.

It seems like Facebook graph search has a lot more functionality, or maybe I just can't discover how to do everything that Path can do with search. I did discover that it can do delightfully strange things like if you search for "snow" it finds all the moments that happened when it was snowing, even if the moment does not have the word "snow" in it. So it must link location and weather history with moments, which is pretty cool! So Path has a lot of potential. I think the search interface just needs some work to expose more functionality like Facebook is.
