How To Delete Facebook Search History All At Once?

Short Bytes: Your Facebook search history is saved in the form of a list in your Facebook account. You can access this data whenever you want by visiting the Activity Log on your desktop and the Facebook app on your phone. There you can delete individual searches or delete all the Facebook Search history at once.Facebook is mainly about news feed and selfies. ButFacebook Search is great optionto find people rather than searching them in your friend list. And sometimes we also bump into the names of the older mates whose memories are on the verge of diminishes.
Over the years, Facebook Search has transformed from a simple people and page search feature to a full-fledged search engine. Now, it allows us to type search queries in a natural way. However, everything you type in the Facebook search bar safely rests in the search history.
Just like Google, Facebook also uses this history to refine your search results. You can find you Facebook search history in the Activity Log. And you have all the power to delete it whenever you want.

Updates to Facebook Search
By Tom Stocky, VP of Search
Today we’re updating Facebook Search to make it easier to find the posts that have been shared with you.
You’ve given us a lot of feedback on the Graph Search beta. You’ve told us the most important thing is being able to find posts you’ve seen before, and now you can. With a quick search, you can get back to a fun video from your graduation, a news article you’ve been meaning to read, or photos from your friend’s wedding last summer.
If you want to search using phrases like “My friends who live in New York,” you still can.

Your search results are personalized and unique to you and, as always, you can only see things that have been shared with you.
You’ve also told us you need better search on your phone, so today’s updates were designed for mobile — they’ll be available on Facebook for iPhone in addition to desktop.
Search at Facebook is a long-term effort. Today is a step toward helping you tap into the experiences and perspectives of your friends.

These updates will roll out this week in US English on iPhone and desktop. For more information, visit search.fb.com.
