Hi i have create a facebook app and a page named "Event Finder - Upcoming Events, Find Local Events". when i write on facebook search bar, Event Finder and go on "see more results" i not see my app.
With another my app "My links, find my posted links, history timeline", when i write posted links, on the serach bar, i see the results.Why?
When i have created "Event Finder - Upcoming Events, Find Local Events" i see this app on the results, after some days is disappeared.
A ban from search results is possible? if the response is yes, when Facebook ban from the search results?
I'm having the same problem. I've read that FB has to rebuild their search index, which they do every 2-4 weeks, so it can take awhile for your app to be added. Your app also has to have 10 monthly users. However, there could be another reason, because my app has been out for 6 weeks and has way over 10 monthly users, but it still isn't showing up in the search. Please reply if/when you find out what your problem was.

So I recently made Penn State Worthington Scranton's Facebook page.
I added a page tab app called "PSWS Social Media Hub".
It shows up for me when I am logged in, but it doesn't show up for anyone who is just searching for the page. How can I get it to show up for everyone else?
Thank you in advance!
Questions:
Have you put the app live?
Have you created the App Details page?
Is it a canvas app?
The docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/appcenter#creating are stating
We encourage all developers to create an App Details page so that the app appears in search and can be made eligible for listing in the App Center.
For Canvas apps, apparantly 10 MAUs are neccessary to be shown in the search results (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/canvas#search):
When your app exceeds 10 monthly active users it will be automatically queued to be included in the search index the next time we rebuild our search index (we rebuild every 2-4 weeks). After the index is rebuilt your app will be discoverable via Search.
I've developed an Facebook app: http://ek2012spel.startpagina.nl/. I've developed one before and the last time I've included the option to post a message on your wall whenever you scored a point.
But I noticed Facebook changed it's policy to prevent spamming to a wall. And I salute them for it. So I wanted to try something else.
Include a Like Button.
Only the people that press the Like button get news updates in their stream.
The news updates won't be automated. It will be me telling them a new round has started or something similar.
I'm pretty sure this is (or at least was) possible. Question is; how?
Should I create a seperate Facebook user for my app?
A new page (or is it called tab)? And link the Like button on my app to that page?
Sub issue: My current Like Button is linked to an (old) URL. The URL redirects to the new one. Any chance I can change the URL without losing all the likes?
That document was referring to an old App Profile page - these were removed in February -I've updated that doc to show the current way to create a page for your app (the option is now in the 'Advanced' tab of the app settings.)
Based on what you've said above, you should do one of the following:
Create a page for the app and get users to like it, and then use the page to post updates for the game's user
Use app to user requests to alert the user that something has happened - this will increment a counter in the user's bookmark for your app to bring them back to it
Obtain the user's email address from the API (needs the email permission) and email them directly.
Posting to user's timelines (/USER_ID/feed) automatically each time you have news to share will result in the spam filters shutting down your app very quickly indeed (bear in mind this will appear to all their friends as a message 'from' that user)
I have developed a Facebook app and associated with the page. I don't have the 'sandbox' checked. However I don't see the app in the Search-box. Do I have to wait certain days for the app to appear in 'search'? I scoured the documentation but I didn't find an answer (the link the document mentions is not present!). Also, I don't see a 'Submit' button mentioned by other questions either. Any input appreciated.

Facebook now indexes apps automatically once they have 10 users, the search index is rebuilt every 2-4 weeks, this was announced here: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/565
My new App dosent show up in search, and on the app profile page it wont show the "go to app" button
i did create the app on a https (secure) canvas page, but it just wont work properly, also my app is coded to post to the users wall, but it's not posting to walls. Can facebook have removed my app wall posting rights? can it have to do with that i use a new app i setup before you had to verify your facebook accounts to create apps? i havent verifyed my account. Can that be it? please i really need your help!
You say it's a new app, so it likely hasn't been submitted to search because you either don't have 10 active users yet, or Facebook hasn't rebuilt their index to include your app yet.
"We have removed the “Submit to Search" link from the app settings
page. Now, when your app reaches 10 monthly active users it will be
queued to be indexed the next time we rebuild our index (we rebuild
every 2-4 weeks). If you already have 10 monthly active users it will
be added to the indexing queue immediately."

Been searching the FB documentation to find an answer for this, but have been unsuccessful.
Is an application able to appear as a tab on a page/profile, and also in the sidebar of that same page/profile?
So the tab would show the full application details, but the sidebar would give a small breakdown.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
Pages and profiles are different. You didn't used to be able to have a profile box and a tab for one application, but Facebook recently changed this. Probably because they stated the profile boxes are going away.
Adding an application as a tab on a Profile has always been a bit problematic and convoluted. The user had to click on the "+" tab, and your app may or may not appear under the list and/or come up in the search. However, 2 weeks ago Facebook announced support for an "add as tab" button.
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:add-profile-tab
Note that a user cannot add your application as a "profile box" until you have posted content to their profile (profile.setFBML) to be displayed in the box. The you can use the fb:add-section-button tag to display the "Add to Profile" button in your application. Box content is cached, so every time you want to update the content you need to post it to Facebook.
Adding an app as a tab to a Page has always been fairly easy. Go to the apps facebook page (not the app) and click on the "Add to My Page" link in the top left.
Profile Boxes (and the corresponding Boxes Tab) are gone.
The replacement for both of these is Application-Specific Tabs. You are no longer able to push content directly to a user's profile.
james, it is possible. just started developing fb apps three days ago. so far my app sits in my tabs and in my profile box, displaying different infos.

try this.
Ah interesting, found Developer Roadmap and basically lays out that what I am asking to do, won't be possible for much longer. Unfortunate, but I guess answers why I am finding it rather hard to do.
