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!

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?

Have you looked into HootSuite already? It can create streams based on searches of public FB posts -- max 3 terms, basic Boolean operators. Not sure about its capacity for historical searches or exporting data, though. -Jeffery Lawshe Sent from my iPhone On Apr 14, 2013, at 3:06 AM, Wy Loh <lohweiye@gmail.com> wrote:
