Hi all,
So something really weird is happening now When I use the m.facebook.com site (I prefer it for it's simpler interface), I, for some reason, can't search for anything. This was working fine yesterday, but today, if I search for anything, it literally just redirects me to the home page, even when searching from another page. I have reported this as a bug, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see, but can anyone please confirm this, or if it's just me?
1. Go to the mobile site m.facebook.com
2. Type something in the search field.
3. Either just press enter, or tab to search and activate it.
4. Instead of showing a search results page, it seems to currently redirect to the homepage instead.
Can anyone confirm?

I don't do any kind of social media, so I can't speak from actual experience, but from before I lost my vision, I did try Facebook a couple of times, only to end up deactivating my account a week or so later, and from what I can recall, their user interface is so complex that I consider it broken for accessibility from the word go.

That's why I'm thankful for their mobile version, as it's a lot more simpler to use. The main site is usable but I'd argue it's all over the place compared to the mobile version.

Facebook right now is creepy. Their Facebook app on iOS is sucked right now. Every new updates come, It get worse every time.

Can't find messenger lite in the uk store I don't think, unless they added it recently.
