Facebook supports searches for the following types of objects:

• Public posts
• People
• Pages
• Events
• Applications
• Groups
• Places (limitable to a specific location (latitude and longitude) and distance)
• Check-ins of the user, friends, or where user or friends have been tagged
• Objects with location information attached. In addition, the returned objects will be those in which the user or friends have been tagged, or those objects that were created by the user or friends.

Users can filter results, such as in time (since and until), or search only a given user’s News feed.

The feature also allows users to search the web directly.
