Each time you look for a friend,
business, or personality on Facebook, it gets saved to your search history.
Supposedly, this makes it easier for you to find what you were looking for
later without much work. Unfortunately, the search history might be cluttered
with queries that don't require quick access -- like someone you've already
become friends with, a brand you're already following.
If you want to limit some of the
information Facebook is keeping about you, or just tidy up the list, it's just
a few clicks away. Here's how to get started
 |
| Facebook menu |
Step 1: Click on the
Settings cog in the top-right corner. Choose the Activity Log option from the
menu.
 |
Expand the menu to reveal the Search option.
|
Step 2: You will see all of
your recent Facebook activity. Under Photos, Likes, and Comments in the left
side menu bar, click More, then choose Search.
Step 3: All of your search history,
provided you haven't deleted it before, will appear. Individual searches can be
removed by clicking the block icon and then Remove. If you want to clear all of
it, click on the Clear Searches link at the top.
What do you think about the
Search history feature? Do you think Facebook should save all of your search
queries? Have you ever found the search history helpful to revisit something
you were looking for in the past? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
