The Graph Search feature by Facebook, being analyzed and cut into shreds over the months since its announcement, is now finally coming to a commoner's domain. Facebook officially rolled out the feature today.

For those who are still in doldrums about what the "ooh-n-ahh" surrounding this much talked about feature is, it simply streamlines one's Facebook searches like people you wish to connect with, your interests so on and so forth based on your account details. An interesting fact is that Facebook was initially apprehensive about naming the feature "Search" as it could well clash with Google's search engine like functionality. But the fact is Graph Search is nothing like Google.

The heart of Graph Search feature is to enable users find anything they are looking for in the simplest of words as they type in the search bar. The idea is "to find and be found" easily.

On the flip side, concerns over privacy are been voiced. What about those who do not want to be searched deliberately? Will they have a choice?

Facebook's CEO, Zuckerburg clarifies that "Every piece of content has its own audience, most content is not public, and you can only search for content that has been shared with you".

Despite the official reassurances, it is best to do a privacy recheck again. Since the feature is now available to one and all, it is best to reaffirm your privacy settings and view your profile before posting anything new.

Here is how one can go about doing the changes:


We hope all you readers will take note of the privacy procedures. And we welcome Graph Search once again!
