When searching I just get a run that doesn't show anything and stays at a wheel of doom with 'Results are usually seen within 1 minute'

Hi, the runs can sometimes get stuck at the beginning, it happened to me as well with various Apify Actors, not just this one. It seems that your run was later 'unfreezed' and scraped almost 1k results.

However, the input format you used is incorrect, as I explained in your other issue.

Please change your input

1{
2  "csvFriendlyOutput": false,
3  "includeUnfilteredResults": false,
4  "maxPagesPerQuery": 1,
5  "mobileResults": false,
6  "queries": [
7    "best crypto to buy now"
8  ],
9  "resultsPerPage": 10,
10  "saveHtml": false,
11  "query": "",
12  "language": "US:en",
13  "extractImages": true,
14  "proxyConfiguration": {
15    "useApifyProxy": true
16  }
17}

into this format:

1{
2  "fetchArticleDetails": true,
3  "language": "US:en",
4  "maxItems": 100,
5  "proxyConfiguration": {
6    "useApifyProxy": true
7  },
8  "query": "best crypto to buy now"
9}

Test run: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/oyn3lwpOhjc6OF1gv

Feel free to adjust the maxItems value to suit your needs. You can also omit it entirely if you don’t want to limit the number of results scraped. Also pay attention to the fetchArticleDetails input field. You can use it to enable / disable fetching of decoded article links and images. If you disable this option, the run will be faster but you will only get article links in the format of RSS feed: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/, with no images scraped.
