Anyone else on Facebook find the Facebook search function to be absolutely useless? Or do you not even bother with using it?

I am sure I recently made a posting on Facebook about one of my earliest memories is being at my grandmothers house watching the move “Fantastic Voyage”, and being fascinated by the complexity of the bottom of a cat’s ear and listening to that purr, and wondering what it would be like to be in that cool spaceship riding through a cats circulatory system while the cat was purring…. I wanted to post that comment to a thread I just read about a speech therapist teaching formerly deaf children what the word purr means. Unfortunately I did not save that comment to Evernote like I usually do.

So I was trying to find that post on Facebook. Tried searching for all kinds of words I thought would be in the post. Tried narrowing down the words to only posts. Add a second filter to only posts by me. Tried taking these steps with the word “ear”.

Here is one of the results. Please #Facebook tell me where the word “ear” occurs in this:

My friend Isaac back in the early 90's made that complaint about Windows dialog boxes with only an OK choice…

Oh now I see. If you take three letters from the word bread, it is an anagram for the word ear. Ok, makes sense to me now….. NOT!
