- mark_l_watson 14y agoThat is FB's plan :-) Not a bad idea. Perform a search, highest ranked results are for friend's content, then fall through to Bing results. The Bing search API (from Azure marketplace) which I use from Clojure and Ruby applications yields good results and since Google no longer offers search APIs, Microsoft gets that business.
- fudged71 14y agoExactly. The less people are reliant on Google, the less power the entire Google+ model has to survive. On year from now, trying to convince someone to use Google+: "But it's accessible from the google homepage!" "I don't google anymore, I just search facebook"
- dgregd 14y agoMaybe that was the plan. They started with the idea to have web search inside FB, to get some money from well established search business. And the graph search is very good solution/excuse to have the search text box in FB.
