Hello everyone,
I'm encountering an issue with Facebook search. When I search for a keyword, posts that are only image with text don't appear in the results.
This is very unfortunate. Maybe it's because Facebook search only analyzes captions and not the text on the image? Can anyone find a solution to this? It would really help.
Thanks in advance.

Enter the keyword you want to search in the search bar > click filter > select articles and scroll down to find content that matches your search.
- I can still search for it like that
 
It’s likely Facebook’s search algorithm prioritizes captions over image text. OCR (optical character recognition) isn’t always consistent, so manual filtering might be your best option here.
 
If searching by keyword, the Facebook algorithm will prioritize text over images because the image filter may not be detailed and suitable for the keyword you give. It seems quite difficult to search for detailed images using just keywords
 
When you search by keyword, Facebook will prioritize caption searches over image text because image filters are not as detailed as . So, manual filtering is the best option
 
Have you tried this search method?

FB always has many modes for you to choose from, you can search for groups, pages, people or posts, you choose exactly what you want to find.
 
yes, you’re right, Facebook's search function mainly analyzes text in captions, not the text embedded within images. Unfortunately, this means posts with text-only images may not show up as easily in search results. A workaround would be to include relevant keywords in both the caption and image alt text. You could also try using Facebook's 'Image Text' feature in ads or adding descriptive hashtags. Hopefully, this helps you get better visibility until Facebook updates its search functionality!

Do u know how to find with an image in facebook
 
You can reload the page, when you search by keyword Facebook will prioritize searching for captions rather than text.
 
Your observation is absolutely correct, from 2025, Facebook's search engine will focus more on analyzing the text content in the captions of posts, so you can reduce the text in the image.
 
This is a limitation that may be due to the volume of data, the complexity of the text in the images, and moreover FB still prioritizes text search first.
