Having experienced “graph search” years ago within [META], I fear that it is solving for “engineers who don’t want to be doing free text search, who think that the Twitter advanced search dialogue is ugly and complex with too many input fields, and who believe that tying user intent to a pre-existing static graph must really be a simple matter of programming.”

Oh, and “giving users the power to dictate conceptual search terms and conversation rendezvous is dangerous for trust and safety.” It’s a bit obvious if someone posts #VerbTheOppressedOutgroup explicitly in their text and yet for some reason it doesn’t turn up in search results for that hashtag.
