Fetching posts by post search?

Hi guys, I like the work you have done with this so far. I’m not sure if this is in the pipeline yet, but I would like to enter a search term into Facebook and get back a certain number of posts per page including comments.

For example:

from facebook_scraper import get_posts_by_search, set_cookies

set_cookies("cookies.txt")
search_query = "Mark Zuckerberg"

# generating url search posts request ('https://www.facebook.com/search/posts/?q=Mark%20Zuckerberg')
posts = get_posts_by_search(search_query, pages=3, options={"comments": True, "posts_per_page": 5})

for p in posts:
    pass # get a list of posts as a return

I’m happy to help to work this one out as well.
