" Your forgotten Facebook ramblings from years ago might be getting a second life. The Verge reports\u00A0that Facebook is indexing all two trillion of its posts so people can search for them.  When you search for something on Facebook, you&amp;#039;ll get results from all public posts on Facebook, plus posts from your friends. If you search for a newsy topic, for example, you can go to a page that has organized posts with photos, events, and posts from news organizations and your friends (and sometimes strangers) who have weighed in.\u00A0It&amp;#039;s part of a\u00A0company initiative\u00A0to make search more relevant to users.\u00A0  The pages you like and share will also factor in when it comes to your own search results, so everyone&amp;#039;s experience will be slightly different. So if you search for a university name, posts from your friends who went there will pop up before others do. And TechCrunch notes that Facebook has a unique opportunity to sell ads against those personalized search pages.   Of course, not everyone wants their posts from five years ago to suddenly be viewed again. So if you don&amp;#039;t want your posts to show up to the world when they search, make sure you take a look at your privacy settings and tailor who can see your posts. A good rule of thumb: If you don&amp;#039;t want the world to see it, don&amp;#039;t make it public.\u00A0 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
