Hi there, Does anyone have a way to search for a particular post on Facebook? I've tried a few ways, with no success... Thanks! Casey
This is one of the main reasons Facebook is for the here-and-now and not much else. Historical data is quite useful to the company, but unsearchable and largely inaccessible to everyone else. If you know what page it's on, you can scroll down and let the page fill with posts (hours worth? Days worth? Years worth? Scroll farther back than you expect it to appear), then search on the page (CNTRL-F). If you know it's within your data (your posts? Your page), you might still be able to export everything and search that way?

Hi Casey, I've attached a link to a paper in b=press that focuses on this subject by introducing a new technology developed specifically for mining data from Facebook during specific dates. I am not quite sure that is it what you are looking for but I thought it could help you. For more details, see the paper here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236107504_Facebook_history_collecto... If the link doesn't work, let me know and I will send you a .pdf. Just let me know. Hope it is helpful and let me know if you have more questions. The citation for it is as follows (in APA style): Guadagno, R. E., Loewald, T. A., Muscanell, N. L., Barth, J.
