The scraper gather unwanted links again

All previous scans have the issue described above. The scraper gathers even links to the original website. https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/61BFwARldax2eN8Zx#output

I have scheduled many scans daily. If it's not repaired asap, I will have to cancel everything because I have no time for all these errors.

More precise information. Links in the following from 33 to 47 and from 143 to 157 are super unwanted. https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/vlAF3nnmkCL1z89gC#output

This one has unwanted links only, from sites that have nothing to do with the submission. I don't want to pay for a service that is not working correctly.

All today's scans are broken, and there are many unwanted links. I don't want to pay for such a service.

It also gathers unwanted links a couple of times, which means I found many of the same links in one report.

The tool at the moment is useless and generates costs for the errors. I've suspended all the scans and schedules.

Hey,

thanks for the report. I ran several tests with input from your run (https://console.apify.com/actors/runs/bD7gtdYhEA7lKIVZm) and I always got 0 results, as expected. It's really weird that you're getting so many unwanted links. I'll keep debugging this and let you know once I find the cause.

We used to filter the results ourselves based on site: parameter but we decided to remove it and rely only on what Google sends us since it was pretty reliable. If we don't find the cause then we'll start filtering the results again.

I am having the same issue. I run scans with parameters for searching specific sites like [site:specificsite.com "subject"] and i'm suddenly getting all kinds of other links being returned in the results like facebook, amazon, instagram, etc, etc. even though those aren't the sites i'm searching for results from.

We've just released fix - the actor will filter the results on its own so you shouldn't be getting unrelated links anymore. I'll keep this issue open for a while in case there are any more troubles.

Thank you for the information.

I have everything scheduled, and scans start in the early morning. I have 22 useless scans today, which are 12$. I will run more shortly and let you know if it's okay.

It's not working well.

For example, the following runs have no results. However, Google shows results that should be found. I've included the screenshot.

I checked both scans today, and I noticed that both have results. This is weird because yesterday, both were empty. I will keep on testing.

Kind regards Jakub

hmm, there was a bug in console that sometimes after a run finishes the UI displays 0 results and the page needs to be reloaded. Though this should be already fixed so please let me know if it happens again.

I went through the runs' results and it looked fine - no unrelated link.

Also, I noticed in your today's run that some of results for site:Audioz.download\tintitle:Kiive query were discarded because of the uppercase A, otherwise the results

I have 22 useless scans today, which are 12$

We'll reimburse you credits from the buggy runs

Thank you for the information. I will check everything in case uppercases. Are there any other elements that can cause a problem?

No, I think it should be all good now
