This article is for subscribers only.
Facebook Inc. is testing a feature for its mobile application that lets people search through old posts from friends by keyword, a move that makes it easier to resurface content that may otherwise be buried.
The tool, which is only available to some members of the world’s biggest social network, lets mobile users see any content that was previously available to them through friends or pages they followed. Facebook said in an e-mailed statement that the feature is “an improvement to search on mobile.”
