Hello, thanks for reporting, I'm looking into it!

Could you provide a bit more context? Did you use proxy?

Yes, different ones actually, residential and datacenter

Okay, I found an issue, working on solution now

thanks!

Can I ask: which public search url are you using for the results?

what do you mean?

https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q="amsterdam" <- that url doesn't work for not logged in users

I need to keep it as secret, but I'm using a few tricks to bypass this ;)

Okay, issue is now fixed, facebook changed things again... :(

Now it should work again.

let me try again! Thanks!

Update: it works!

Is there a way to sort on most recent?

I will implement sorting shortly (tomorrow should be deployed)

Unfortunately facebook doesn't allow to sort response. I added "recent posts" toggle, it's the only way how fb allows to manipulate results. I will try to add start/end dates filter as well within next hours/days so stay tuned for updates!

I saw the new build, how can I sort? :-) Keep up the good work!

If I select 'recent post' the most recent post is from: "Wed Jan 31 2024 08:28:27 GMT+0000"
