Facebook rolls out searchable hashtags

It’s not exactly revolutionary but at least those hashtags you add to your updates are now going to make sense. Hashtags on Facebook are going to work the same as how they do on other social networks like Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Tumblr. You click on a hashtag, you get access to posts and comments about the topic.

As a first step, we are beginning to roll out hashtags on Facebook.
