Does facebook have a public search API yet?
-
I can't seem to find the definitive word out there of the facebook search api: the api that allows you to search public status updates and comments/posts (there is a web interface for all logged in users for this at the moment).

Answer:
You can use the Facebook graph API : http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ look for the searching section, QUOTE from fb: Searching You can search over all public objects in the social graph with https://graph.facebook.com/search. The format is: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=QUERY&type=OBJECT_TYPE We support search for the following types of objects: All public posts: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=watermelon&type=post People: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=mark&type=user Pages: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=platform&type=page Events: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=conference&type=event Groups: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=programming&type=group Places: https://graph.facebook.com/search?q=coffee&type=place¢er=37.76,122.427&distance=1000 Checkins: https://graph.facebook.com/search?type=checkin You can also search an individual user's News Feed, restricted to that user's friends, by adding a q argument to the home connection URL: News Feed: https://graph.facebook.com/me/home?q=facebook
