Find anything on Facebook Timeline with the following 5 tools

You want to let someone see the content posted on your Facebook or search for something that your friend posted or a post you liked, commented on. However, it was hard to search in Timeline full of posts ever. So this article will introduce 5 tools to help you find anything on Facebook Timeline.

Search features and tips are available on Facebook

Before installing and allowing a third-party application to access Facebook, try out the features available on Facebook. If Timeline scrolls to search, you should know that by default Facebook does not display all your posts or your friends. Even when clicking on a particular year at the top right, you will only see Highlights . To see all posts from that year, click the down arrow to the right of Highlights and click All Stories .

When searching for old posts, you may see some posts you no longer want to be public or visible to your friends. To limit all previous posts that only friends can view, click the drop-down menu at the top bar. Then select Settings> Privacy (left bar) > Who can see my stuff? > Limit Past Posts and click the Limit Old Posts button .

Graph Search is one of the best "hidden" Facebook tips. It's a great feature added to Facebook in 2013 and continues to impress users based on what it can find.

You can do a simple search using "my posts " or search for more details like " my posts about [topic] ". You can also search for posts from friends on your Timeline or their Timeline posts. See the Search Guide with Facebook Graph Search for more details.

The Activity Log is the place where you can search for posts. It offers a number of options to search: posts, tagged posts, other people's posts, hidden posts, photos on the Timeline, your photos, all your photos and all posts posted already liked and commented. You can access this information from Facebook Timeline or from Facebook.com/me/allactivity.

Facebook apps and websites

There are a few third-party applications that offer search functionality on Facebook.

1. QSearch

QSearch is an application that can quickly search any post on your Timeline. Then you can filter them by status, photo or link. Search results are not only your own posts but also posts from your friends.

In addition to searching for your own Timeline, you can also use it to search your friends' Timeline, the groups you join and the pages you follow.

2. Archivedbook.com

Archivedbook is a website that you can connect to Facebook to see all the old posts, but it can find even more like all of your friends' posts. On the website, you will have a number of options to categorize what to display: your post and status, others' posts to your Timeline, photos, videos, places, pages, notes and your event.

Users can also sort how results are displayed by clicking on the drop-down menu on the right and choosing to show newer or older items or follow the most favorite posts or commented.

The only downside of Archivedbook is that it does not save loaded articles. That seems like a good thing, but when you click on any other option (in addition to the drop-down menu at the top right), it will reload the entire list. In addition, you can also set a specific time frame to display posts.

Tip: To search for a post, just use the shortcut Ctrl + F.

Ideally, users should try to perform a search using Facebook's available features before using a third-party application. However, QSearch is a great tool for finding things quickly and it has several sorting options. Using Archivedbook is also great, but the waiting time for the results is a bit long.
