Find DDSmatch Job Posts Mentioning "FFS"

Purpose

Find DDSmatch practice/opportunity listings (the site's "job posts" — associateships, sale-of-practice, partnerships, etc.) whose text mentions the term FFS (Fee-For-Service, the payor/reimbursement model). This is a read-only lookup. It returns the set of matching listing IDs with their URLs, post dates, and excerpts (each excerpt typically describes the patient base, e.g. "a strong mix of FFS and PPO patients"). The fastest path is the site's native WordPress search endpoint — no scripted browsing required.

When to Use

A user wants every DDSmatch opportunity/listing that references fee-for-service ("FFS") economics.
A recruiter or dentist is filtering opportunities by payor mix and asks "which posts mention FFS?".
You need the count of FFS-related listings or a paginated dump of their IDs/URLs/excerpts.
More generally: any free-text keyword search across DDSmatch practice listings (swap FFS for the desired term).

Workflow

DDSmatch is a WordPress (Divi) site whose practice listings are a custom post type indexed by the native WordPress search. A plain GET to the search URL returns server-rendered HTML containing the matching listings, so the recommended method is a proxied fetch — no browser, no JS execution.

Issue the search request (residential proxy required — the site sits behind Cloudflare WAF):
```
GET https://ddsmatch.com/?s=FFS
```
e.g. browse cloud fetch "https://ddsmatch.com/?s=FFS" --proxies. A 200 with <title>You searched for FFS - DDSmatch</title> confirms success.
Parse the result cards. Each match is an entry block of the form:
```
<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://ddsmatch.com/practices/654251/">654251</a></h2>
```
Extract the numeric practice ID from the /practices/{id}/ href, plus the adjacent post date and excerpt. The listing title is just the numeric ID; the human-readable summary lives in the excerpt/og:description.
Paginate. The first page returns 15 results. Walk subsequent pages until one returns zero entries:
```
https://ddsmatch.com/page/2/?s=FFS
https://ddsmatch.com/page/3/?s=FFS   ...
```
The footer pagination also exposes the highest page number (e.g. /page/22/?s=FFS). As of 2026-06-16 there were ~319 matches across 22 pages (21 full pages of 15 + a final page of 4).
(Optional) Enrich a listing. Fetch https://ddsmatch.com/practices/{id}/ for full detail; the opportunity summary (including the FFS reference) is in the page's og:description meta tag and the "Practice Details" body text.
Emit JSON per the Expected Output schema below.

Browser fallback

If the HTML structure changes or you must visually confirm results, drive a Browserbase session with --verified --proxies (both are mandatory — see Gotchas):

browse open "https://ddsmatch.com/?s=FFS" --remote → browse wait load.
browse get title should read You searched for FFS - DDSmatch.
browse get markdown body (or browse snapshot) — the result cards render as Results for "FFS" followed by listing blocks linking to /practices/{id}/.
Scroll / open /page/N/?s=FFS for additional pages. Stop at the listing/results screen — do not contact sellers or submit any inquiry forms.

Site-Specific Gotchas

Cloudflare WAF is always on. Bare HTTP works for robots.txt but listing pages need a residential proxy. Use browse cloud fetch --proxies for the fetch path, and --verified --proxies for any browser session. A bare browser session risks a Cloudflare challenge/interstitial.
Use the WordPress search (?s=), NOT the Search&Filter Pro form. The /dental-practice-listings/ page uses a Search&Filter Pro facet UI (state / region / type / opportunity / revenue / operatories). There is no "FFS" facet — FFS is not a structured field, it only appears in free-text listing descriptions.
Don't waste time on the Search&Filter _sf_search[] param — confirmed non-filtering. Both the static URL form (/dental-practice-listings/?_sf_search[]=FFS) and its AJAX endpoint (/?sfid=240283&sf_action=get_data&sf_data=all&_sf_search[]=FFS) return the default unfiltered result set (a nonsense term like zzqqxx returns the same default page). The text input is wired for zip/location, not full-text keyword filtering of the listing corpus.
Result "titles" are just numeric practice IDs (e.g. 654251). The descriptive text (specialty, location, payor mix, FFS mention) is in the excerpt and the practice page's og:description — not in the title.
A listing matches on FFS even if /practices/{id}/ looks FFS-free at a glance. The match comes from the indexed title/content/excerpt; confirm by reading og:description rather than visible body text (some IDs returned by an unrelated listing browse won't be in the FFS result set — always trust the ?s=FFS result list).
FFS also matches "Fee-for-Service" phrasing in a few listings, but the search is on the literal token FFS; the result set is the authoritative answer.
Pagination ends silently. /page/{N}/?s=FFS beyond the last page returns a page with zero entry cards (no hard 404). Terminate when an entry-title count of 0 is observed.
Counts drift over time. Listings are added/removed continuously (dates seen ranged into 2026). Re-derive the total from live pagination rather than hard-coding 319.

No-results shape (e.g. a term with no matches, or paging past the end):

{
  "query": "FFS",
  "source_url": "https://ddsmatch.com/page/23/?s=FFS",
  "total_results": 0,
  "job_posts": []
}
