New! Facebook publishing tools. Finally a search function for Page admins.

Very excited to see a new feature in Facebook this week that addresses the hole that has been search on the platform to date. Sure we’ve had the whizzy Graph Search but Graph Search isn’t what you want when you are trying to find that post about xxx that you wrote some point last summer.

Check out the new Publishing Tools tab

Search is part of a new tab called Publishing Tools. You’ll see it in the top nav bar when you go to your Page.

There are three options within Publishing Tools. You can see your Drafts, your Scheduled Posts and now an archive of your Published Posts. Try searching by keyword. I’m seeing results back to 2013 but no earlier than that. Still, it’s a great addition to the Page Admin’s toolkit – one that has been on my wishlist for a very long time.

I wonder how long before they roll out a decent search function for fans?
