The Huffington Post’s Business editor, Alexander Kaufman, saw the above search box that relegated the search function to a specific profile. Mashable was also able to replicate the feature along with the specific results and was able to confirm that this was in fact a test that was being piloted. A Facebook spokesperson stated:
“We’re piloting a way to search for people’s posts from within their Profiles. You can only search for posts that you can already see on their Timelines.”
This functionality could be a boon for brands as well. A search function on Facebook pages would give customers another route to quickly find recent news. A search of Nike’s Page for “running” or Marketing Land for “Martech” could help folks get the precise news from a single source.
