Even though you're probably on Facebook about 3-4 hours a day (maybe even more), chances are, you're probably frustrated about some things about it. One of the things that has constantly irritated users is that it will let you search people, pages, groups, places, but sometimes those are not the things you're looking for. But the social media giant has now announced they are changing all that with their new search parameters.
On their Graph Search beta, you will now be able to look for posts that have been shared with you. Want to browse through your vacation photos that your friend posted? Forgot to read that important scientific discovery link that your classmate shared with you? Looking for that angry post that your ex-boyfriend posted on your wall? Theoretically now, you can search for them on Facebook's search bar.
But lest you think that other people would also be able to search for those posts, the search results are personalized to you, because these are just things that your Facebook friends have shared with you or tagged you in. So those embarrassing photos you're searching for will only show up in your results page and not for anyone who looks for "drunk spring break party pictures".
Unfortunately for mobile people, the search update will be rolling out on the desktop version first (and also if you're using the Facebook app on iPhone). But we're pretty sure that it will also be coming to the Android app soon. So, just be content with scrolling through your endless timeline to look for that specific post in the meantime.
