When reading the posts, only the most recent are always displayed. How can we jump to an old date and go to old posts on a Facebook wall?
Usually, when we want to review an older post, we keep throwing ourselves down in the hope that those desired posts will suddenly appear. But as we have seen, usually that miracle does not happen and to end we end up renounce to the our research.
To conclude, although the Facebook search engine allows you to find a person via their mobile number (a fairly advanced tool) , she has not yet an exploration tool to search for a particular publication by keywords, dates or people.
However, there are a few ways to access and even download these not-so-recent posts to perform custom searches. And although they are available on Facebook, many times we are not aware of them because we do not frequently use the menus they appear in.
How to jump to an old date and go to old posts on a Facebook wall
An easy way to go to an old date and go to old posts on a Facebook wall is to log into the history of the "Activity log". We can do this by inserting our profile or the button in the shape of an inverted triangle located on the right at the top of the page.

Only the owner of the Facebook account has access to the information found there you will see your complete history. It will be organized for months, starting with the most recent and progressively progressing towards the oldest dates and publications.
It also features a very complete filter which allows you to search based on certain parameters such as:
- Biographical review.
- Photographic review.
- Publications.
- Activity in which you have been tagged.
- Other people's posts in your bio.
- Photo and video.
- Reactions and "Likes".
- Comments.
- Friends.
- Important events.
Download your information on Facebook
Another possibility is to download your information on Facebook by accessing the "Settings" menu and selecting "Your information on Facebook". There the option will appear «Download your information» and then "Request a copy".
You can choose from many options of information to download, you can download them all or some data in particular. You can also choose a specific date range that interests you particularly, as well as configure the desired download format.
Once you have selected the type of information you want to download, proceed to «Request a copy» and Facebook will proceed to create a file to download in Zip format with all the information you requested. As soon as it is available, Facebook will notify you and you can download it in the same section where you requested the copy, in the «Copies available» section.

After Facebook has generated the required file, you will have a few days to download it. Thanks to the available download formats, you can read the information easily in a web browser. Using the search method by combining the functions of the "Ctrl and F" keys, you can easily reach the desired publications. If you have problems, you can contact and write Facebook about a problem.
There are some Internet pages that allow you to download this same information, but you must grant it permission to access your Facebook account. This can lead to unnecessary hacks. If this happens to you, find out how to recover your hacked Facebook account with your phone number.
Note that if the posts you expect to find aren't showing up in the report, that's because you've probably removed them from your bio at some point. In addition, all publications prior to 2005 cannot be recovered, as this Facebook option was not available at the time.
