What’s special here is that you don’t need to know Facebook’s complicated Graph Search terms like “Friends of Friends named Sarah who went to Stanford and work at Google”. Search Is Back turns your simple menu selections into the proper URL and sends you to the search results page on Facebook’s official site with no extra login required.
Unfortunately, the product usually only works for people in the US who have received the Graph Search rollout. One thing that helps is adjusting your Facebook language setting to US English if you don’t use that already.
Some examples of what you could use Search Is Back to search for include:
What people from your home town are single and live in your current city
Who your friends of friends are at a company with a job you’re applying for
Which friends live in a city you’re visiting
Who that person on Tinder is who says their name is Sam/Samantha, lives in San Francisco, and went to UCLA
Who that person you met at a party was that was friends with your buddy Dan and works at Google
You can also use it to find photos, events, Likes, and posts, such as:
All the photos tagged with two particular people (not that you’d stalk your ex)
Events happening tonight that your friends are invited to, so you can find something to do
Posts from friends about London, so you can get recommendations for a vacation
Friends in your city that Like a certain musician, so you can find people to go to the concert with
Search Is Back was built by Michael Morgenstern, a filmmaker from San Francisco who was fed up with how hard it was to search Facebook.
Facebook declined my request for comment regarding Search Is Back. However, a close reading of its Platform Policies shows Facebook doesn’t technically prohibit how the site works.
The social network made a big deal of its Graph Search feature for finding specific things back in 2013, but using sentences instead of traditional keywords confused people. In fact, Facebook VP of Search Tom Stocky told me in October that “the interaction model for search with these natural language phrases was not right for a mass audience.”
