Question

I want to be able to search/filter a user’s statuses for a certain keyword. I thought I could do something like this:

graph.facebook.com/_user_id_/statuses?q=term

Or even:

graph.facebook.com/_user_id_/search?q=term&type=status

But none of those work and I can’t find any documentation on this. I know I can do it with FQL, but the statuses method of the Graph API would give me likes and comments to each status as well.

Any suggestions?

You can do this with FQL, it just takes a multiquery to get it done:

{
'posts_w_keyword': 'SELECT post_id, actor_id, message FROM stream WHERE source_id = me()
                     AND strpos(message, "keyword") > -1',
'post_comments':   'SELECT post_id, from_id, text FROM comment WHERE post_id IN
                     (SELECT post_id FROM #posts_w_keyword)',
'post_likes':      'SELECT post_id, user_id FROM like WHERE post_id IN
                     (SELECT post_id FROM #posts_w_keyword)'
}
