If you are a member of any Groups on Facebook, you’ll know that plenty of people don’t realise you can search the posts because the same questions come up again and again. Here’s a quick way to find the handy little search box on any Facebook Group page (see image above).
Use it to search within all of that group’s previous posts – genius!
Mobile – Facebook Groups App
The mobile app doesn’t have this feature but there are a couple of ways to search groups on your mobile or iPad.
- Simply use your mobile browser and remove the ‘m’ at the beginning of the URL (eg, use the desktop method above)
- Download the free Facebook Groups App. This is ideal if you are a big user of Groups, and almost essential if you are a Group Admin and use your phone the majority of the time.
Facebook Groups App – Search Feature
To use the search function within the Facebook Groups App, simply click on the magnifying glass on the top right of that groups page.
