type "John Smith in Austin" or "John Smith from Austin" ffs stop trying to make it more complicated than it needs to be. they have a thousand of the best rejects from Google doing semantic search so that you don't have to fiddle with knobs and controls.

and they have zero links, hints or instructions on how to use this semantic search anywhere in or around the primary interface for searching, I think they did some kind of overlay when they first launched it but nobody reads those on purpose then when you do get to your thing only "top posts" actually retrieves stuff from your timeline and if you hit any of the other tabs on the results page you get random all caps spam from strangers

they made a base assumption that people would magically get it and they were so proud of it they assumed it didn't need to be discoverable

Use case: I have 2 lists of friends.

1) "bad word ppl"
2) Everyone else

How do I sort by "bad word ppl" or "friends" so I can determine if I've got everyone in the right place?

I've been trying this and it doesn't work. maybe some weird Firefox extension is loving it up but if I type in "John Smith from Austin" I get one result; unless there is really only one person living there with that name

I hit the like button and submitted a comment on how I really enjoyed being able to connect to the Facebook Search brand like this, but the comment didn't show up anywhere or to my friends. I think it's fake.

I went to a tech talk thing at Facebook Boston the other day. they were showing off graphql which is they use instead of regular REST.

anyway one of the things they showed is how they could notify you when one of your friends started to write a comment on one of your stories. even the presenter commented that it was kind of creepy.

Yeah glad it's not just me. Facebook's search is terrible, and not just because I am used to "beep boop" entries (which I am).

I did the same thing with Brooklyn. There's no way there's two John Smiths in Brooklyn. There's probably a thousand+.
