Facebook[4] Graph Search is a motor de busca[2] developed by the redes sociais[3] giant, Facebook. Introduced in 2013, it was built by former Google[5] employees Lars Rasmussen and Tom Stocky. The engine is designed to provide search results based on the user’s profile, their connections, and privacy settings[1]. It’s a semantic search engine, focusing more on the intended meaning of the search query rather than the exact phrasing. It supports searches for people, pages, places, check-ins, and objects within Facebook’s network. Its unique features include an auto-complete function and the ability to filter results by time and specific users’ News feed. However, in 2019, most of its functionalities were halted and the focus shifted towards improving keyword search functionality. Although it provided a more personalized search experience, its launch raised several privacidade[6] concerns.

Definições de termos
1. privacy settings. This text primarily discusses the concept of "Privacy Settings." Privacy settings are a crucial feature on social networking services and other online platforms that allow users to control who can access their personal information. These settings play a pivotal role in protecting users from privacy leaks, although their effectiveness can be compromised through others' connections or by default settings that encourage oversharing. User attitudes, understanding of privacy policies, and the accessibility of privacy settings all influence personal and interpersonal privacy management. Enhancements to privacy settings, such as design improvements and the adoption of privacy by design principles, can help mitigate risks of unintentional information sharing. Companies often adjust these settings to balance user privacy with their own data collection needs. Privacy management tools, including software and trust-based negotiations, offer additional control over privacy policies.
2. motor de busca. Um motor de pesquisa é uma ferramenta vital que funciona como parte de um sistema de computação distribuído. É um sistema de software que responde às consultas dos utilizadores fornecendo uma lista de hiperligações, resumos e imagens. Utiliza um sistema de indexação complexo, que é continuamente atualizado por web crawlers que extraem dados de servidores Web. No entanto, alguns conteúdos permanecem inacessíveis a estes rastreadores. A velocidade e a eficiência de um motor de pesquisa dependem muito do seu sistema de indexação. Os utilizadores interagem com os motores de pesquisa através de um navegador Web ou de uma aplicação, introduzindo consultas e recebendo sugestões à medida que escrevem. Os resultados podem ser filtrados para tipos específicos e o sistema pode ser acedido em vários dispositivos. Esta ferramenta é importante porque permite aos utilizadores navegar na vasta Web, encontrar conteúdos relevantes e recuperar informações de forma eficiente.

Pesquisa gráfica do Facebook was a semantic search engine that Facebook introduced in March 2013. It was designed to give answers to user natural language queries rather than a list of links. The name refers to the social graph nature of Facebook, which maps the relationships among users. The Graph Search feature combined the big data acquired from its over one billion users and external data into a search engine providing user-specific search results. In a presentation headed by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, it was announced that the Graph Search algorithm finds information from within a user's network of friends. Microsoft's Bing search engine provided additional results. In July it was made available to all users using the U.S. English version of Facebook. After being made less publicly visible starting December 2014, the original Graph Search was almost entirely deprecated in June 2019.
