Workarounds to Access Posts Search Filter in Facebook

In this guide, we will show you a couple of handy workarounds to access the Posts filter on Facebook. Social media giant Meta is notoriously infamous for making changes to its product that no one has asked for in the first place. Recently, it has shifted Instagram’s Story Highlight from the top over to the Posts and Reels location. Well, users should be thankful that the feature is still there, something that cannot be said for Facebook.

Up: Before | Down: After

In the latter’s case, it has removed the Posts filter option from the search. While the rest of the options, namely: All, Videos, People, Groups, Events, and Pages, are still, the axe has fallen for the Post tab. This hasn’t gone down too well with the users, and understandably so. Here’s what one of them had to say in this regard:

I was searching for our 1st anniversary photo post as throwback to celebrate our 14th year. All I find is shtty reels and annoying thumbnails! It was easy to find any old post with these search filters. I clearly remember the caption. One tap and voila! Now it’s bloody hellish nightmare to go through my activity log. Even the date filter is not working. Can’t even search for my friends’ 15 year old posts! WTF Bring that button back!!! It f**ng annoying!

So, can it be a bug? Well, most likely not, as the Post option is missing from the Facebook website, the Android app, and even its iOS app. So it seems more like a consensus decision by the team rather than a bug. So the next important question- can it be fixed? Well, there are a couple of handy workarounds using which you can still access the Posts search filter in Facebook. And in this guide, we will make you aware of just that. Follow along.
