Search for wins on Facebook

Options
My apologies if this is already common knowledge but I have only just found this out and it might help out anyone who does FB comps

I've just changed my Facebook language to English US (rather than English UK) and the Facebook search has changed completely. I can now search my name + winner or congratulations etc, and it will show me all public posts with those words.

Sorry again if I'm just a bit slow and everyone else already knew this but thought it might be handy to know as I've been wondering for ages how some people can use the global search and some can't
