So for those who aren’t aware, graph search was very powerful. You could find Graph Search to search for events, people, Pages on a multitude of parameters using Natural Language Phrases For example:
People who work in <Company> and live in <Location> would display all people working in a certain company living in a certain location (provided these were updated in their profiles).
Similarly, Future events named <searchtag> happening in <location> would demonstrate you all events that were happening in your city. If you liquidated the <searchtag> it would simply display you all events
These features stopped working after the latest update and I can’t figure out why. Now all it does is showcase search for the phrase withing posts. None of the useful stuff.
I have no idea what happened since I can only find news articles praising the update since it makes graph search work on mobile.
Also, switching language to English (US) doesn’t work. I’ve already attempted switching it to English (UK), spanish, german, hungarian and Klingon and then back to English US.
That’s not the problem. And I’m not the only one facing this problem from the looks of it. https://www.facebook.com/graphsearcher

This is partially true.
Facebook Graph Search is still available. It seems to not display for long queries and also for correct queries (fuzzy searches seem to be pulling down) and favouring post searches instead.
People who work at Facebook (not People who work in Facebook)
People who work at Facebook and live in Ireland
Future events named Carnival
Future events named Carnival happening in Brazil
So it seems Facebook Utter Text Search and Facebook Graph Query Search share the query depending on the data supplied.
The best thing to do will be to just play with the queries until Facebook provides a better UI.
I have done a lot of Facebook Graph Search queries in the past, and I just discovered something interesting. Many of my previous Graph Search queries still work, but only if I click on them from my Activity Log (you can find all of the searches you have ever done there). If I attempt to re-type them into the search box, then they may not work.
As an example, a few months ago (prior to the latest search switches) I had searched for Photos of Kaley Cuoco Sweeting . This returned a seemingly unending list of photos. But if I type in Photos of Kaley Cuoco Sweeting into the search box now, it comes back results within Posts, and there are no results on the People and Photos tabs. There’s no way to get that seemingly unending list of photos by typing something into the search box now. But when I click on the link to my previous search in my Activity Log, then it works like it did a few months ago – it comebacks that seemingly unending list of photos.
So if you want to do a Graph Search, and it is one that you have done previously, then go to the Search section in your Activity Log and find the link to that search. Click on it and it may still work.
EDIT: It emerges that many of the graph searches that didn’t work for the past year are working now.
