Not finding it nearby? Widen your search.
Three quick questions. We’ll line up Marketplace searches in the towns around you and open them in your browser, signed in as you.
How it works
Three steps. No logins. No installs.
Describe what you want
Keywords, a price range and how fresh the listings should be. These filters are copied into every search.
Choose how wide to go
Pick an area. We work out the fewest Marketplace searches needed to cover it, using Facebook’s own city locations.
Open the tabs
Each search opens in a new tab of your browser, signed in as you. Open them five at a time, and tick them off as you go.

Questions
FAQ
Do I need to log in or give you my Facebook password?
No. You never enter anything about your account here. The tool only builds ordinary Marketplace search links. Your own browser opens them, so you need to be signed in to Facebook in that browser already.
Does it work on my phone?
It works best on a desktop or laptop browser. On phones, Marketplace links open in the Facebook app one at a time, so opening many regions at once isn’t practical. Use “Send to my computer” to move a search to your desktop.
Why does my browser block the tabs?
Browsers allow one new tab per click unless you allow pop-ups for a site. Click “Open first 5”, and if the extra tabs are blocked, allow pop-ups for widenmysearch.com once from the address bar. You can also click each item in the checklist yourself.
What radius should I use?
We start at the largest radius Facebook allows (500 miles in the US, 500 km in Canada), or “Auto”, which picks the widest useful circle. That way you open the fewest tabs. If a wide search shows mostly listings near its centre, choose a smaller radius: each area then gets its own tab and its own local results.
How many tabs will it open?
Never more than 25 Facebook tabs in one plan, and usually far fewer. A whole-country sweep at the maximum radius is about 6 to 8 tabs. The button shows the exact number before you open anything.
Is this against Facebook’s rules?
This site doesn’t scrape, automate or log in to Facebook. It creates the same search links you could type yourself and opens them in your own browser. How you use Marketplace is governed by Facebook’s own terms.
Do you store my searches?
Saved searches, recent searches and your finds board are kept in your own browser (local storage) and never sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes them.
Is the Marketplace radius in miles or kilometres?
It depends on where you are. Facebook shows and reads the radius in miles in the United States and in kilometres in Canada, with the same steps either way, from 1 up to 500. So 500 is the maximum, but that means 500 miles (about 805 km) for US users and 500 km (about 310 miles) for Canadian users. The tool guesses your unit from your time zone, and you can switch it under the search box. The coverage maps are drawn to the correct size for the unit you choose.
Which cities can it search?
665 Marketplace locations across the United States and Canada. We checked each one against Facebook’s own city pages so the location is applied correctly.
