Searching Updates in Facebook

In Twitter, I have been using the search tool to search for tweets of a particular topic in the Twitter timeline. This is a very handy feature to get a review of something. Upon using Facebook, I missed this capability. It would have been nice to know what people are saying about a particular product or a particular movie.

But as I began to explore Facebook more, I later realized that you can also do a similar search in Facebook. Unlike in Twitter though, there is no separate site with a different interface to conduct your search e.g. search.twitter.com. Instead, all you have to do is use the regular Facebook search box and filter the results by posts. I normally used the Facebook search only to find friends and groups, and did not realize that it can also be used to find posts containing particular keywords. Now, I’m much happier.
