I'm trying to find a post I made on my timeline (aka wall) several months (or even years) ago, but can't find a way to search for it. I see there's a way to download my entire content, but that's very heavy.
Currently, I open the activity log (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/username/allactivity) and start scrolling down to get some info on the page. Then I use my browser to search for the text. But this is slow and, depending on how far back I want to go, tedious. Clicking on the earliest month/year in the filter only loads those periods specifically.
Anyone know of a better way that will find the search words anywhere on your activity log quickly?
Edit: There's a "bug report" (not really a bug, but lack of a feature) related to this on Facebook's developers forum.

In the search bar, type
