According to the company, the accuracy is high enough that Facebook will sometimes make suggestions even before you’ve told it what kind of media you’re looking for. “What we ended up doing is providing this flow where it works from the top level,” says Facebook software engineer Ryan Case. “You could be just typing about what you’re watching and we give an indication we have a suggestion for you, and you can step into the suggestion.”
