For example, if you select Posts, you see options such as Posts You&#39;ve Seen and Date Posted. Selecting one of these further narrows the search results. If you want to search for photos, the sub-filters in the Photos category can help.

<h2> How Privacy Concerns Affect Searches </h2> Facebook searches and returns information about people who gave the social network permission to share. For example, if you opt not to post your current employment on your profile, you won&#39;t appear in a search for that place of business. If you limit the visibility of many of your photos to a select group of people, no one outside that group can see those photos in a Facebook search.
