My toolbar shows 4 searches, but they do not qualify, WHY NOT???

[tzs]

I know I am doing valid searches, searches that I would otherwise do on google. So why does it keep saying they don't qualify? Yes, I have clicked the "find out why" button, but that's not good enough for me. I am genuinelly searching for something that I have been thinking about, and It does nothing. Can someone explain this to me???

Were all 4 on the same day? I belive if you do an odd number thats not a multiple of 4, like 3 or 7 ect, they do not carry over into the next day.. So if you did 3 one day then 3 the next, it would show 6 but you would not have earned any credit. Just a thought. (Have seen people in the past wonder why the math didnt add up towards the end of the month and thats usualy why..)

If its saying your search didnt qualify it shouldnt be showing on the toolbar as being a search.. at least for me it doesnt.

If the problem continues I would first try uninstalling the toolbar and reinstalling it, and if there is still a problem after that send in a support ticket to the FC staff.

Actually all of the searches were on different days, and It hasn't credited since. Thank you so much for your help, Ill try it!

Have done so many searches on my FC toolbar, it had a message about "Maximum Search Rewards Earned." (When that comes up the number of my searches and the amount I have made goes away.) All my searches are showing now and the amount I have made $0.26. A message comes up on the lower right hand corner (side) of the screen sometimes, saying "Your Search Is Valid". And at other times nothing shows. There are times when a message shows up, saying "You Did Not Perform A Qualifying Search. Learn Why, the the search was not valid, and there is a place to click and find out why.



"This could have been for the following reasons:

    You are in a country that is not eligible to earn rewards
    Your search query was nonsensical or yielded no actual results
    Your query originated from an automated process or macro
    Your search patterns reflect that you are not actually using this service for results

IMPORTANT NOTE
We use sophisticated algorithms to determine valid searches in accordance with Yahoo! If you are not credited for your searches it means they have been flagged as invalid. Please understand that the current status is not permanent. You will receive credit for your searches if you continue to search naturally throughout your day."





I am sure you read all of this. If I feel I will find what I am looking for I just go on with my work. If I see that adding a word or changing search a little will make it valid, I may do that if  am not busy. But I have many that don't meet the parameters for a valid search. Have you ever maxed the toolbar out?

The toolbar will show as "Maximum Search Rewards Earned." when you have earned the max for that DAY (5 cents/20 valid searches) This only applys for that day and it will let you continue earning again after 12PM Pacific. (of course you can still search they just wont count)

The message "Your Search Is Valid" only shows up sometimes, because it only shows up when youve earned the reward (example: the first 3 searches it wont pop up, but on the 4th that earns you 1 cent, the message will pop up) weird that it says valid search and not reward earned, but thats what it is.
