Facebook announced the launch of searching your posts and status updates within graph search.

Facebook said, “Today, Graph Search will include posts and status updates.” With this, you “will be able to search for status updates, photo captions, check-ins and comments to find things shared with you.”

I personally tried this, and it is not active for me yet:

facebook-search-posts-unavail

But when it does become available, you can search for topics like [Posts about Dancing with the Stars by my friends] and you’d see this:

facebook-search-posts

Other search commands that let you search Facebook posts and status updates include:

  • Posts by my friends from last month
  • Posts written at The White House
  • Posts I commented on
  • My posts from last year

For more on this feature, see the help center at Facebook.
