Facebook has made major improvements to search within the last year. Last year at this time, the company re-enabled searching within friends’ posts. And in October, Facebook added the ability to search within public posts, boosting the social network’s utility as a source of real-time information.
But it’s still not easy to find a specific post on the social network, which is no surprise considering Facebook says that it has more than 2 trillion posts to sift through. To make it easier to find posts from a single source, Facebook is testing a new feature to enable searching within a Page. It’s an extension of a pilot program that allows searching within people’s profiles that surfaced last month.
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the test in an email. It’s a pilot on desktop and mobile for small number of US English users. People in the test group see a search box on Facebook Pages, as shown in this screen shot below from Social Times, which reported first about the experiment.
