Hashtags on Facebook, Need an Improvement to be Effective

Many of you have noticed #Hashtags on Facebook has come. It is very useful when your post is public. When people search for that hashtags then they may discover your post. This will help in popularity and reach of your post. This is what you wanted when you make your post public!  The hashtags on Facebook do the same what it does on Twitter.
