About

This page tries to be a simple interface to show how the current Facebook search function works, after Graph search was closed. Although still experimental and in development, it is published in the hope it can be useful to overcome the void left by the old graph search. Any suggestion, issue, bug, proposal, contribution etc. are very welcome; please open an issue on the project's github page.

The tool is made by sowdust and it is completely free and open, as knowledge should be.

The initial work of understanding how the new search function works was done by D Nemec and Henk Van Ess and summarized here.

Notes

For some searches, using a keyword is necessary. If you don't want to filter via keyword, try to leave this field blank at first. If you get no results, you can also try to add more "neutral" filters (i.e.: sort by chronological order). If it still doesn't work, try to put the name of the entity you are filtering for as a keyword. For example, if you are looking for people living in London, just use "london" as a keyword.

WARNING! Do not copy and paste values inside the below forms from unknown sources unless you first inspect their content: pasting malicious information may result in a Cross-Site scripting attack.
