Introduction to Facebook Search

Article By: Akhil Wable, an engineer at Facebook.

Connecting and sharing with others is Facebook’s primary value. That value necessitates having the ability to easily and efficiently find the people and information we care about. The search team at Facebook is focused on building a search product to enable our more than 400 million users to quickly find what they're looking for.

In July 2007 we explained the complexities of serving one of the largest user bases in the world and the reasons for building our own in-house search service. Serving more than 150 million queries a day, and supporting a user base that has grown by more than 10x since then reinforces that decision.
