With the new search on Facebook, you will quickly find posts and videos again. We show you how to activate and use the hidden function.
New Facebook search: function hidden for now
- Facebook hasn't had any really big changes for a long time. Since the website is quite mature for today's standards, there are often only minor improvements.
- This also includes the new search function. You can now not only find more friends, strangers or CHIP, but also search for individual posts. Individual keywords are already sufficient.
How to search for posts
- Open the Facebook website or download the Facebook app on your smartphone. Select the search above and enter a desired keyword.
- If you search for "Christmas", you will see all the posts from your friends or from Facebook pages that contain the word. Since people and pages are preferred in the search, you may have to tap the small magnifying glass to request a deeper search.
- Note that not all posts can be found this way. Posts from public Facebook pages can be easily searched. Private profiles can prevent this through the privacy settings.
Change search to English
Note: The new search function is now also available in German. Changing the language is no longer necessary.
- Open the Facebook website, click on the small arrow in the top right corner and select "Settings".
- If you switch to the "Language" category on the left, you will find at the top the question "In which language would you like to use Facebook?".
- Change the language from German to "English (US)" and click the "Save changes" button.
