Facebook has launched Graph Search- the social data search engine that would enable users to search the enormous amount of social data contained on Facebook servers. Finding reviews about any restaurant,movies was never so easier. You would be able to get instant and real reviews from your own friends. Graph Search would enable you to find information about people,places and things right on your Facebook page by searching on the information shared on Facebook.
How to Use Graph Search?
1- Click on the search bar at the top of the page.

(Remember, this feature is still in Beta version and would be available for testing to a limited audience based in USA)
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg stressed that “graph search” is different from an all-purpose search engine, the expanded feature escalates an already fierce duel between Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. as they grapple for the attention of Web surfers and revenue from online advertisers.
