Hey,

I apologize for late response. Try the following input:

1{
2  "deeperCityScrape": false,
3  "includeWebResults": false,
4  "language": "en",
5  "maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch": 2,
6  "maxImages": 1,
7  "maxQuestions": 0,
8  "maxReviews": 0,
9  "onlyDataFromSearchPage": false,
10  "reviewsSort": "newest",
11  "scrapeDirectories": false,
12  "scrapeImageAuthors": false,
13  "scrapeReviewsPersonalData": true,
14  "searchMatching": "all",
15  "searchStringsArray": [
16    "King's Seafood Center, 425 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087"
17  ],
18  "skipClosedPlaces": false,
19  "website": "allPlaces",
20  "reviewsFilterString": "",
21  "placeMinimumStars": "",
22  "allPlacesNoSearchAction": ""
23}

The solution is to put your location query (locationQuery) directly to Google Maps search (searchStringsArray) and it should find that specific place. locationQuery is passed to Nominatim API, which doesn't understand such complex query, that's why the actor couldn't find anything.

I'm going to close the issue now but feel free to reopen in case you have more questions.
