Filtering not working?

Hi. I'm running the Google Maps Scraper, and hoping the attached link shows enough info. I'm doing a test search for Kitchener, ON (canada) for restaurants, barbers, and salons that have the word "cash" in their google reviews to be exported data. The results the scraper started spitting out, I paused it to check and test a couple of the results and I didn't see cash in any of the reviews when I did a "search reviews" from the google maps profile and searched for the word "cash" to double-check it's working as intended. What could be wrong here?

Hey! I checked, and it seems like only the 4 salons out of the 25 you got, have in the reviews section the word "cash" mentioned. So, it should be working as intended. The actor first looks at the places and scrapes them and then looks at the review's set conditions.

I just ran a test run again. I don't understand why every time i run your software i have problems with it. It seems it should be amazing but it never seems to work as intended for me. Are you able to see the latest test runs I did for kitchener? I click the link, for the business provided (Mohamad's Barber Shop, and Upper Village Market), I click reviews, search search (and type in cash) and nothing comes up.
Where's the gap in what I'm trying to do versus what your software is outputting? I don't see it working as intended.

So- Alex, are you not admitting that in the previous test run, 4 out of 25 salons given as filtered "successful" results that passed my filter parameters, are correct? Meaning 21 out of 25 results that "passed" my keyword filters are incorrect or wrong. Is that not what we're both saying? That it's not working?!?

Let's put it this way. Let me say in words what I'm trying to acheive. Surely you can see by the history that I've tried using these Apify things even 9 months ago with literally the exact same questions and attempts.

I'm interested in scraping reviews of businesses such as cafes, restaurants, barbershops, nail salons and to have a list of businesses in these categories, that have the word cash in their reviews. These runs I do over and over, are exporting lists of businesses for sure and every time I check 2 o 3 of them, I don't see see how it comes back as a hit. How do you make this work?
