Millions of photos, videos, people, apps, pages, groups, events, and more make up Facebook. Knowing how to search the site can help you find specific information quickly.
How to Perform an Advanced Search on Facebook
Facebook offers a search bar to find people, groups, posts, or just about anything on Facebook. You can filter the results down to the details most relevant to your search.
The search bar is designed for natural language searches, so if you type what you're looking for in plain language, chances are Facebook will give you the results you want.
Scrolling through someone’s page to find a Facebook post that was posted yesterday or even a few hours ago can be a struggle if that person is a heavy Facebook user. Facebook lets you search for specific words and phrases, whether they were posted today or years ago.
