Have you checked the extension options in each of your accounts? In your third example, user agent overrides are enabled but you probably have left the input boxes empty.

Also, what are the user agents in the account that work?

I'm not sure why. Are you able to do manual searches on those accounts?

VasuBhimani commented 1 year ago

yes, manual search work perfectly

AnthonyZJiang commented 1 year ago

yes, manual search work perfectly

The reasons I can think of are:

  1. Your alter accounts are not logged into https://www.bing.com/ or/and https://rewards.bing.com/
    • You must log into both sites.
    • Make sure you click the badge on www.bing.com to double check it.
  2. Your alter accounts are banned.

But since you confirmed manual search works, I don't know what else can be the reason.

Things to try regardless:

  1. Remove the extension and reinstall it.
  2. Use your browser's native UA to see if that works (mimicking a manual search). Visit: https://www.whatsmyua.info/ and copy and paste the UA in the override box.
  3. Try the latest develop version. I updated the request header, not well tested, so it may be complete garbage...

thank you for your reply and i tried all 3 things but nothing is work :(

i want to addon something, that i use different bot for bing search before this but after some days ( 4-5 day ) they all bots are stop working or not perform mobile search or they take so many time to complete search and this same happen with this extension also in staring 3-4 days this is work properly but after that some account giving UA error and some account still working properly. i don't know this will help or not but just telling you if this can help you to solve my problem

Hi all, just wanted to share an observation, it seems that they are filtering search terms. Single/two word terms are ignored in the points but entering a longer query counts points for me. Perhaps this is the time to use AI generated search queries? :) Example prompt for Bing Chat: Provide a list of 100 human-like specific search queries in JSON array format, only return JSON do not include anything other than JSON. Do not include introduction sentence.

Curious if anyone else can get it to work with longer (more unique) queries.

ElDavoo commented 1 year ago

I tried concatenating three queries like this:

    _getBingSearchUrl() {
        const word = this._currentSearchType_ == SEARCH_TYPE_PC_SEARCH ?
            this._googleTrend_.nextPCWord + " " + this._googleTrend_.nextPCWord + " " + this._googleTrend_.nextPCWord :
            this._googleTrend_.nextMBWord + " " + this._googleTrend_.nextMBWord + " " + this._googleTrend_.nextMBWord ;

        return `https://www.bing.com/search?q=${word}`;
    }

but nothing changed

I installed the addon on firefox and its working as expected. So I can rule out problems with my account or the search terms of the addon
