Day in day out lots of activities happens over Facebook, sometimes you share stuff on your timeline and sometimes get tagged by your friends. Out of so many activities how you can look for a particular one on your Facebook Timeline.

You can find any post on your timeline from Facebook mobile app as well as from browser using the desktop. Follow the below steps to search for the exact post you are looking for on your timeline.
Using Desktop

2) Open your profile and click on “View Activity Log” button.
3) On the left side, you will see a lot of options. If you want to see your post only, click on “Your Posts” option.
If you want to search for the posts you are tagged in then choose “Posts You’re Tagged In”.
4) If you are looking for a photo in which you are tagged or the one you have posted on your timeline then why not use direct filter by clicking “Photos” option.

This way you can also look for the hidden posts, the posts you liked or commented. All these options are available on the left side panel.
Note: If you remember for which year posts you are looking for, then you can search the Facebook post year wise also. On the right side, you will see years listed. Choose the year and you will be listed with all the posts from that year.
