The answer to this question is “Yes”. Telling you that Facebook can perform the same activities as our most preferred search engines.
Understanding How Search Engines Work
If you have any education in computer studies, you must have heard the words “Garbage In, Garbage Out” which is abbreviated “GIGO”. For those who have not come across these words before, it will be explained.
GIGO simply tells you that electronic systems like computers give output based on the input they get. Meaning once data is given to a system, it is being processed and given out as information.
Search engines are developed based on GIGO. Anything you give to the system as search or input, you will get endless results or information (output) about that thing.
So, for instance, if you search the word “Cup” using any search engine, you will get results in different formats including; Text, Images, Videos, and more.
This should give you a perfect understanding about how search engines work.
