Hi Geeks, I need some pointers.

I want to design an application and here is what I intend for it to do.

I want to be able to search Facebook posts based on a particular keyword and also filter by number of comments.

How do I go about achieving that?

Your algo will determine that,throught their api (application programming interface),keywords that you use, strings would also determine that by SEARCh and FINd,just think search engines like google,bing and when you are using a notepad,microsoft word,ideas are really around you and perhaps with regular expressions,filtering comments too the same method.

You still need the ropes of programming.
