Hello Jessica I just figured out how to do this. 1. In the FaceBook app Double tap the "Search Facebook" at the top of the screen below the status bar. 2. Type your text in the edit box. 3. After a few seconds swipe right and you should see results. 4. If you press the search button on the on screen keyboard you will get a new screen containing results. 5. Towards the top of this screen you will see the different items you can select such as people, places, photos, pages, etc. Do not tap on any of these. The search results containing text are below and can be accessed.
How to Do this with a keyboard. 1. In the Facebook app Press Control + UpArrow to go to the top of the screen. 2. Press Up + Down Arrow to activate the search FaceBook item. 3. You should hear something like "Edit Text Field, QuickNav off, Search FaceBook". 4. QuickNav is not off so press Left + Right Arrow to turn it off again. 5. Enter your search text and turn QuickNav back on. 6. Wait a second or two then navigate right and you should see search results. 7. If you press the enter key after typing your text you will get a new screen. 8. Towards the top of this screen you will see the different items you can select such as people, places, photos, pages, etc. Do not tap on any of these. The search results containing text are below and can be accessed.
