How do you search for your name on FB/TW?

Quick question for you peeps (please excuse my numptyness)

What's the best way of searching for your name on FB/TW?

I know there is a couple of ways of doing it, but I share my name with some American gospel/church singer so if I type my name in Google, that other 'Dontone' comes up as well. It's probably really simple, but I'm having a complete brain f*rt atm
Any help will be much appreciated.

Social Searcher - Google social search, type in something like 'Joe Bloggs' winner congratulations, or other keys wording like - wins won

You can also use the search function on Facebook , put your name and then winner, congratulations or won. There are filter for this so u can exclude things in the search like only the U.K. Etc x

Twitter - you would usually be tagged/it appear in your mentions but you can also search for your username in the search box

I know I get tagged in TW if I win, it's just the searching. Sometimes I find that TW goes a bit wappy when searching, I just wondered if there was a bit of an easier way to do it.
It's mainly the FB searching tbh, I had a win the other day (a very rare FB win) and it's only because I happened to click on the comp link from here that I noticed I'd won. The tagging didn't work, and I didn't get a notification either. Good job I checked or else I would have missed it.
I know that there a few 'winners' page on FB, but I don't get tagged on those either - then again, I don't do that many, and I hardly win :rotfl:
I couldn't remember the 'social searcher' name and that's why I asked, just a complete numpty moment tbh :rotfl:
Thanks very much

facebook comps are ridiculous for not tagging, I use a few facebook groups that list winners so check through them daily and google search winner "my name"

The search function on Facebook is awful.
It just brings up every single competition i have reacted to or shared! ��

Easiest way is to revisit each competition via activity log, but this is so time consuming!

I've found a few wins via the FB search but for some reason it only works well for me on my mobile phone.

I'd first check your FB app is up to date then just type Winner + your name or Congratulations + your name.

You will see the first lot are usually just your posts but as you scroll down it begins to list "public posts". It may just list a few, but underneath you should have an option that says "view all public posts" or something like that. Click and then you can filter again by year.
