I'm a long time lurker on AWP on Facebook. It actually has quite a bit of great information on there. It and one or two other groups are the only reasons why I'm still on Facebook.

It does have a search function - hiding up on the far right. It isn't as great as a normal forum search but you will be able to search for specific terms and it will find them (sometimes).

And unlike other groups that allow a ton of spam links being dropped. This one has 0 tolerance for it. Plus they answer my silly questions I have as someone who is learning how to develop with WordPress.

So although Facebook is dying. This group isn't. I hope one day maybe it will migrate off onto a Google Plus Community. But for now its fine where its at.
