From dee05839ec0315269277a74f184d1e4015b5f6e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raphael Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2018 11:37:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [Docs] Captcha Troubleshooting >The cookie should be created after you complete the captcha. If there's no captcha and *GOOGLE_ABUSE_EXEMPTION* cookie, try pressing F5 to refresh the page. The cookie should've been created. If refreshing the page does not help, change the query to something different (change the number or add text). Google will not necessarily ask you to complete a captcha if your request is the exact same as the previous one, because it'll usually be cached. --- README.md | 17 +++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 3c5b1f3..631a628 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -39,7 +39,7 @@ Use `any` to disable this feature.

So the tool use a (optional) custom formatting given by the user to find further and more accurate results. To use this feature properly and make the results more valuable, try to use a format that someone of the number' country would usually use to share the phone number online. For example, French people usually write numbers that way online : *06.20.30.40.50*, *06 20 30 40 50*. ## License
