Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE When I try to search a username for which i know is on Snapchat it doesn t show it, but when I type python3 sherlock "username" --site Snapchat then it shows normally. Im running sherlock on a mac device btw. Any ideas why it does that?

Hi @Doljo, thanks for opening this issue.

What was the username you tried to search for? I did some tests and it seems to be working well.

As u can see here it only shows when I use --site command, maybe the problem is on my end.

I have similar issues (also on mac) where generated results don't match expectations. @matheusfelipeog you can see that I'm missing several results (eg CGTrader, Contently, G2G, etc) and producing extras (eg CNET, Rumble, VK, etc) image If I search specifically for missing sites, still returns no results image Does not matter if python/python3

@brainyacademic

G2G was removed in #2068 due to false positives CNET recently updated, and that one is a false positive. Fix proposed in #2107. VK does not appear to be a false positive, as an account does load when visiting that address Rumble does not appear to be a false positive, as an account does load when visiting that address Contently does not appear to have an account called teamsnapchat when checking manually, hence no result here CGTrader does not appear to have an account called teamsnapchat when checking manually, hence no result here

Aside from CNET (since we're fixing that one already), are you able to provide specific examples for false positives or false negatives, preferably with what usernames you tested with?
