In a few days, “Search FYI”, the internal search engine, will go live on Facebook.
Facebook has every intention of bringing order to the vast amount of links and information that are introduced into the social network every day.
The proof of this is evident: Facebook’s new internal search engine has been officially announced.
Dubbed “Search FYI”, it will become operational on October 29th, but initially only for select groups of users residing in the United States of America.
After the testing phase, the project will be expanded on a larger scale, gradually incorporating all other subscribers from around the world.
It is no secret that Facebook’s internal search cannot be counted among the most precise; this is probably the social network’s sore spot: not yet having found the right way to catalog and manage the countless information resources that users themselves “upload” by posting status updates daily.
Search FYI should therefore – at least in its basic intentions – manage to bring order and, above all, to divide the thousands of available sources based on where they originate.
In this way, when using the search engine itself, the system could manage to establish the relevance and veracity of one source over another, thus being able to start proposing increasingly reliable and accurate results.
Many are crying out about Facebook’s battle against Google, the undisputed specialist in this sector.
In reality, more than a competitive maneuver, the launch of Search FYI appears to be an attempt to bring order internally, before looking outside the ecosystem itself.
