Out of order: Facebook people search

Why doesn't Facebook people search order results by social distance? It would be a lot more useful:

  • Your friends' friends
  • Your friends' friends' friends
  • The rest of the world who share the name of the person you're looking for, but are unlikely to be the person you're looking for.

Would make more sense from a user experience perspective.

Or does finding someone's social distance from a random individual involve too many calculations to make it possible?
