Facebook brings Graph search to mobile, lets you find specific individual posts by Keyword.
Facebook's latest update allows users to search for specific individual posts in addition to finding people, places, and information.
The update has been rolled out to Facebook's iOS app and desktop for now, and will be rolled to Android soon.
Facebook says in a blog post, that users are often frustrated with seeing a post on their News Feed, and then being unable to find it a few hours later or even just moments after refreshing the page. "With a quick search, you can get back to a fun video from your graduation, a news article you've been meaning to read, or photos from your friend's wedding last summer," Facebook added. Facebook rolled out its Graph search nearly two years back, however it took some time to make it user friendly. e.g, if you search for a dentists you will be able to see relevant posts that your friends have shared with you and not some random data keeping your privacy intact. "it's not a way to search everything posted on Facebook, and your privacy settings remain intact." "You can only find posts that have been shared with you," says Kazi. "There's no change to privacy, this is only things that your friends and your community have shared with you." A Facebook spokesperson stated, "The updates are being rolled initially on desktop and iPhone.
We'll be listening to people's feedback and making improvements from there. Then we'll bring these updates to Android. People who use Facebook on Android will still be able to search for people, Pages, Groups, and apps. No specific timing to share on Android availability." Source: Facebook
