[Magdalen] Facebook question

[Sibyl Smirl]

Just be on their page, showing their timeline.  That search method only 
works for the one page, but it'll work for any web page that you're on, 
not just Facebook.  I don't think it finds words that are part of 
graphics, just words/phrases that are text.

You can find things on FaceBook that they've commented on, that won't be 
on their page, using Facebook search.
