Facebook Search by Location
The initial one was excellent-- any time you meet a beginner, you could head over to Facebook as well as find out which friends you already have in common. It made life so intriguing.
The 2nd one was a have to for traveling. If I was heading from Madison to Milwaukee or Chicago for the weekend, the first thing I would certainly do was head over to Facebook and see which of my friends were staying in my destination city.
After that Facebook removed the option. Then they included one more means to do it via the My Friends tab. After that they took that away. Then you can do it by searching for the city as well as picking "friends" Then that went. [sigh]
I quit. Facebook plainly didn't desire me to understand which of my friends were in Madison and which were in Eco-friendly Bay. So I returned to mass messages and also word-of-mouth, not recognizing why this had to be so difficult.
Yet good news: there's a new way to search for friends by city on Facebook and it is exceptionally simple!
When you login to Facebook, at the very top of the page, you will certainly see a search bar.
It's where you look for friends, pages you like, cities, applications and anything else you wish to find within Facebook.
The important things the majority of people don't recognize though is that this search bar works even more like an actual search tool compared to they understand. If you key in an individual, a city or a page, it will reveal you that individual, that city or that page. Yet you really can make your searches substantially extra thorough.
If you key in "my friends in Jakarta" [insert the name of any type of city], it will merely provide you a listing of your friends in Jakarta, Indonesia.
If you type in "ice cream places in Jakarta" it will list all of the ice cream shops in Jakarta.
And more.
It deserves noting that once you have actually entered in your search, Facebook will reveal you results based on just what they take into consideration to be "top" finds for you. So that might imply they will only show you ice cream shops in Jakarta whose page you such as on Facebook. Or they might show you posts from your friends who have written about ice cream shops in Jakarta. (Bear in mind this will certainly not transform existing privacy filters. You still will not see any material from individuals who have not made their material offered to you.).
Yet look at the device bar at leading and you will certainly notice that you have countless alternatives for how to browse.
Poke around in there as well as see what else you find. If you just desire a listing of pages for ice cream shops in Jakarta, click on "Pages" If you intend to see the most current posts, click on "Latest" "Individuals" possibly will not obtain you much for this search, however when you are trying to find which of your friends live in a certain city, this will be the tab for you.
