How to Search Facebook

On Facebook, you can search for people, places, photos, interests, posts, groups, and entities with a fan page (for a community, organization, or public figure) or a business page. 

How Privacy Concerns Affect Searches

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’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.

These options allow you to look for specifics like photos uploaded by friends, public photos, or pictures posted in a specific year. The Videos sub-filters are similar.
