I'm currently working on a script to login to Facebook, search for a specific webpage using the search bar, and select the top result. However, there seems to be an issue with the script not always sending keys to the search bar and failing instead. Any insights on why this might be happening?
Additionally, I'm struggling to identify the correct path to the top search result. I've experimented with various By functions such as tag name, class, and x-path, but none of them seem to work effectively. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
