Fails very often and takes quite awhile 2-4 minutes each run.

retrying the same query by running the actor again works, but hoping for a better solution thats more reliable and ideally faster too. as cost incur for failing is not low as well.
Thanks for report the issue! Seem they change their site, just now I fixed it. Please try again with latest version 0.0.24.

Thanks it works better now, runs are now ~1 min+. Most of my initial runs work but at the end there's some weird behavior where it claims multiple results are being returned but viewing it only shows 1. there are a few failures near the end as well not sure why,
Here's an example of one of the fails below 2024-08-22T18:24:06.523Z ACTOR: Pulling Docker image of build HMr6kFCNLcnClmFPF from repository. 2024-08-22T18:24:08.559Z ACTOR: Creating Docker container. 2024-08-22T18:24:12.155Z ACTOR: Starting Docker container. 2024-08-22T18:24:13.535Z Starting X virtual framebuffer using: Xvfb :99 -ac -screen 0 1920x1080x24+32 -nolisten tcp 2024-08-22T18:24:13.541Z Executing main command 2024-08-22T18:24:14.534Z INFO System info {"apifyVersion":"3.2.4","apifyClientVersion":"2.9.4","crawleeVersion":"3.11.1","osType":"Linux","nodeVersion":"v18.20.4"} 2024-08-22T18:24:18.459Z INFO Configuring Web Scraper. 2024-08-22T18:24:42.187Z WARN 2024-08-22T18:24:42.188Z ***************************************************************** 2024-08-22T18:24:42.190Z * Web Scraper is running in DEVELOPMENT MODE! * 2024-08-22T18:24:42.192Z * Concurrency is limited, sessionPool is not available, * 2024-08-22T18:24:42.193Z * timeouts are increased and debugger is enabled. * 2024-08-22T18:24:42.195Z * If you want full control and performance switch * 2024-08-22T18:24:42.196Z * Run type to PRODUCTION! * 202...

Hi! Could you please give the inputs that make the tasks failed, so that I can check the issue easily.
I just do some test and it work fine. Some tips:
- Add multiple search terms into one task: this will run faster then do one by one. Remember to increase timeout if need
- Always using residential proxy

Sure, here are the tasks with fails and weird number of results below.
