Facebook Search

I’ve always been slightly frustrated by the Facebook Search option.  It gives you suggestions as you type which can be helpful but somehow rarely finds what I am looking for.

I was a little surprised to read this week then that the Facebook Search can be a good business tool.  Really?  Then I discovered the secret.  You can filter the searches.

Type in a search as usual, for example I was looking for WordPress, and then click on the “See more results” link right at the bottom.  This takes you to a page of results with a new menu on the left hand side.  Here you can filter the search on people, groups, apps. etc.  Much more powerful.
