On the new iPhone mobile facebook app, is there a way to search for people who aren't your friends?

Nope, which is a shame. Hopefully they will update that.

facebook apparently just wanted to completely frustrate us…

okay, thanks for the responses. How frustraiting…

the facebook app right now is good for nothing except chat (honestly), it’s great that it’s the first true external facebook chat app really out there that you don’t have to have facebook running somewhere else to use it, but besides that it is nothing but useless.
