Facebook is testing an in-app search engine to make sharing articles easier

You might have heard: Facebook is testing hosting news site’s content, with the goal of making users’ reading experiences more seamless

But did you know: To get people to post more links, Facebook is testing an in-app keyword search engine to allow users to find articles and websites to add to status updates. Some iOS users are seeing an “Add A Link” option alongside the buttons to add photos or location, which shows a list of matching links you might want to share. The update could be related to Facebook’s plans to get publishers to post content directly to the site, making it easier for users to read and share news without having to leave the Facebook app.
