Facebook sees 2 billion searches per day, but it’s attacking Twitter not Google | TechCrunch

"What Mark Zuckerberg said on today’s earnings call was that “The growing way that people use search is to find what people are saying about a topic across more that [sic] 2.5 trillion posts. Now people are doing more than 2 billion searches a day between looking up people, businesses, and other things they care about.”

Twitter has ruled this space, but Facebook has been trying to catch since launching public post search last year."
