Twitter and Facebook are rapidly becoming a huge repository of information and one of the biggest search portals. But trying to find an old yet useful Tweet or Facebook Post isn’t always the easiest thing when you have to scroll through a ton of feeds or wall posts.

Social Searching is a web service that makes it easier to search Facebook posts and Twitter tweets. It’s like a personal search engine for your accounts; instead of entering the post/tweet text precisely it lets you use keywords (words used in the posts/tweets) to find what you’re looking for and lists all matching results. You can search your own updates or those of your friends.

How to Search Your Old Facebook Posts

To search for old Facebook posts, first login with Facebook account and then type in your name in the search friends or you bar or if you’re looking for an update from a friend, start typing in their name. The service will list your friends’ names for you to pick from. Enter what you’re searching for in the what bar and hit search.

All posts with matching words will be listed. You an use the search to look for videos posted or for captioned photos. If you click the Search Everyone? option, the service will search all public Facebook wall posts for the phrase you entered.

How to Search Your Old  Tweets

To search for an old tweet, enter a Twitter ID for the person who’s feed you want to search and any word that you recall from the tweet you’re trying to find. The service will list all tweets with the matching words. The search can be especially useful if you’ve forgotten which hash tags were used in the tweet or if the person who’s feed you’re searching uses the same tag in all feeds. This feature will be very useful since it lets you search tweets more than 2 weeks old which Twitter doesn’t.
