    Facebook takes on Google with new search

    16 january 2013
    Facebook took the wraps off a new search tool that lets people trawl their network of friends to find everything from restaurants to movie recommendations, an improvement that's likely to increase competition with review websites like Yelp and potentially even Google.

    However, experts have warned the social network to 'tread carefully' with user privacy - even though Facebook claims its new service is 'privacy aware'
    People can use the structured search tool to resurface old memories, find people in their network, and uncover potential connections. The service incorporates various filters such as "place type," "liked by," and "visited by friends" to make locating things faster. You can refine search queries with more advance filters to get better answers.
