Why can't I search for wall posts made by me or my friends when searching photos and videos is available?
-
I would like to see all the status updates made by friends since they joined Facebook. Also maybe status updates in which no link was posted. So why doesn't Facebook allow to search wall post but allows videos and photos?

Answer:
Facebook has created graph search for posts (the rollout was announced in September 2013) but as of now (January 2014) very few people have it. http://techcrunch.com/2013/09/30/graph-search-posts/ Roughly, the reason is that full-text search of posts and comments is a much bigger engineering challenge given the size of Facebook's posts and comments data (~700 TB RAM according to https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/under-the-hood-building-posts-search/10151755593228920)

Graph Search is still in early beta. It is an evolving project, and what we see today is only the beginning. As stated in the FB press release, "The first version of Graph Search focuses on four main areas -- people, photos, places, and interests." Posts unfortunately are not in this first version of graph search, but I wouldn't be surprised if future versions will include posts and other things shared on the Facebook graph.
