Facebook opens graph search to posts and status updates

Graph search has had a lackluster launch so far. Few are using it with confidence thinking they can find what they really want. Now, it will include status updates and other posts. This is potentially very good news as it will allow Graph Search to be very useful for those wanting to find information on specific topics that are associated with their Facebook friends.

Starting today, Graph Search will include posts and status updates. Now you will be able to search for status updates, photo captions, check-ins and comments to find things shared with you.

Search for the topics you’re interested in and see what your friends are saying, like “Dancing with the Stars” or “Posts about Dancing with the Stars by my friends.”
