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. Again even within the last week. Again tonight. Tonight I removed the categories. Either it repeatedly doesn't work, or works poorly, or I'm repeatedly making multiple mistakes with inputs. I'm interested in scraping reviews of businesses such as cafes, restaurants, barbershops, nail salons and to output a list of businesses in these categories, that have the word cash in their reviews. This means the output should contain ONLY businesses with reviews that contain the word cash. Over and over again I've done these runs a few different ways, and I am getting these lists of "results" from my filters applied, and every time I check 2 or 3 of them, I don't see see how it comes back as a hit, because when I search the reviews for my keyword. It says not found.

My filters were, city of Kitchener, ON, Canada. Scan reviews of restaurants, cafes, barbershops, nail salons. Apply a filter- the review must contain the word cash.

How do you make this work? I've tried multiple ways now and I'm getting results of who knows what. Seems like the business keywords work. Categories I removed this time altogether. But business type + keyword cash is not applying. How do I make it work?

Hi! Just to repeat what you need, you just want all the reviews that contain the word "cash", correct?

If you look into the Output tab and switch to the tab "Reviews (If any), you will find all the reviews that contain the word "cash" and the prospective business.

Hope that helps!

YES. It took me like a dozen attempts over 9+ months to finally discover that late last night. Thank you. I understand now the overview tab does not apply the reviews filtering.
