Previously, conducting a search on Facebook would return results from friends, family, Pages you like, and other sources you had some affiliation with.  Now, just like Twitter and other social networks, conducting a search on Facebook will return results from everyone who published a post containing that keyword.</span></span><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE0ER9oOA96rWzwXEPSeQ8cv0DJkbvsJYId7wICgTEe6pZxGUX42PSfOW6MpUm8DqBjBxzfahJexlpYV3HXcGbz0L6xu2NILIPmVz-wj-6ze50D13_wNZFAR7bRg5wAxDt51khTkjj5v0/s1600/7_file.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE0ER9oOA96rWzwXEPSeQ8cv0DJkbvsJYId7wICgTEe6pZxGUX42PSfOW6MpUm8DqBjBxzfahJexlpYV3HXcGbz0L6xu2NILIPmVz-wj-6ze50D13_wNZFAR7bRg5wAxDt51khTkjj5v0/s640/7_file.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;">   <span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Facebook’s index now includes over 2 trillion posts, with over 1.5 billion searches being conducted each day.<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></span><br /></span></span></span><br /> <ul> <li><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;">    In addition to expanding its search index to include posts throughout the network, Facebook has also made the following improvements to its search engine:</span></span></li> <li><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;">    Better suggestions: Typing in the search box will return better, more personalized results on the fly.
