What shows up in search results on Facebook?

 

You see unique search results based on:

• Your connections to people, places, things.
• What you're able to see on Facebook, including what your friends share with you.
• Your friends, connections and interests, which affect the order of your results.
• People's privacy settings. For example, if you search "photo Paris," you may see photos your friends took and shared with you first.

You may see results from people you're not friends with because you're part of the audience for the post. Keep in mind that public posts can be seen by anyone, including people outside of Facebook.
