Default Ryanair remove "find lowest fares" option

Am I blind or has the lovely lowest fares airline removed its 20 day
"find lowest fares" viewing field from its new enhanced website? The
best I can see is a +or- 3 days option.

This really is so time consuming when trying to book flights months in
advance or maybe Ryanair does not really want its passengers to book
its lowest fares

Am I missing something?

That seem to be the case!
People on other NGs have also mentioned the disappearance of the "Find
Lowest Fares" option.
Also, Skyscanner no longer supports Ryanair flights.

That might be a temporary thing, if they were scraping the old website
then they might have to change the algorithms to scrape the new one.

It will stop them from seeing who is enquiring about which specific
flights. But it will also stop quite a few people booking with them if
the flights don't show up on Skyscanner at all.

That won't work for me - I'm using skyscanner primarily to see who flies
where, and then when I've got the carrier/route I want, I'll book it via
the airline's website. Under this model I'll never even know Ryanair fly
where I want to go.
