Facebook testing new function to make mobile search better
Facebook is testing a function for its mobile app which will allow users to search through their friends old posts by keywords.
The tool, which has been described by Facebook as “an improvement to search on mobile” will help users find content which may otherwise be buried.
The move, which is currently being tested worldwide, comes as Facebook also tests the running of its graph search on smartphones and tablets.
Having launched in January 2013, graph search allows Facebook users to search through their friends via interests, for example friends who like a certain type of food or live in a certain city.
This extension could make Facebook more user friendly for those wanting to search for a certain event while on their phone.
