 "Facebook Graph Search will now let you search for posts and status updates")
When Facebook rolled out Graph Search earlier this year, it almost looked like it lacked a punch that could have made the feature indispensible. The social networking website, however, has been working on beefing up its Graph Search product even as it rolls it out to the masses. Facebook has now announced that besides profiles and general queries, Graph Search will also be able to fetch posts and status updates for you too.
When we first went hands-on with the Graph Search on its release, it seemed like a pretty useful tool for power-Facebook users. However, the lack of being able to search for posts and status messages seemed too glaring an omission to ignore. Facebook has now finally managed to include updates from within profiles onto Graph Search, making it a lot more powerful.
Search for posts made at a particular location
In a blog post explaining how this feature will work, the Facebook team wrote that you will now be able to enter in queries like “Posts about Breaking Bad by my friends,” to see what your friends have been saying about that particular topic. Of course, you can even search for topics using hashtags like “Friends who posted about #goodbyebreakingbad.”
You can also ask Graph Search to fetch you “Posts by my friends from last month,” or status updates put out from a particular location asking it to show, “Posts written at the White House.” If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can even take a trip down memory lane by asking Facebook to show you “Posts I commented on” or “My posts from last year.”
Go down memory lane by searching for your own posts
Of course, like all Graph Search features from earlier, you will only be able to search for and view results of posts that have been shared with you or are public. In case you’re afraid of embarrassing old status updates of yours becoming searchable, you can always review your privacy settings.
Facebook says that this new feature of being able to search for comments and posts is rolling out only to a few existing Graph Search users for now. As is the norm with most such Facebook products, the more powerful Graph Search will be rolling out to users only over time.
