It seems that Facebook intends to compete with Google since it is currently experimenting with its own search engine. A search engine from the largest social network will try to keep users on the platform when they want to perform a search.
This in practice means more clicks, and most clicks are bigger profits.
It all started with a reputation that wanted several iOS users to observe some changes, but the company has already confirmed that the feature will be available very soon.
"We are piloting a new way to add a link that is already posted on Facebook to your posts and comments," a Facebook spokesman told TechCrunch on Sunday.
And as described by the representative of the social network, users will soon begin to see a new option that says "Add a link" or Add a link. If someone clicks on the link, they will be able to choose from an impressively large number of relevant posts collected by Facebook.
Users can in this way have a preview of the site they have selected and then share it on the platform.
This could be a huge blow to Google as it means that Facebook users will now be able to use the platform's built-in search engine when they want to share an article.
Posting to Facebook from a mobile application is quite difficult, so the new feature is more than welcome, as it will allow you to post links much more easily, without having to go from one website to another.
In addition, it appears that the search results will be based on popularity among users and the number of the article shared, which means that we will be able to have relevant content very quickly.
This possibility follows his decision Facebook to host news content through a partnership that it is preparing to enter into through various media. The new partnership will allow users to read articles without having to leave Facebook.
The feature is already available to a few users in the US, and Facebook has not provided additional information on when it plans to release the new feature in other countries.
