Boolean Searches Are Not Working

Closed

chartreuse_lilac opened this issue
2 months ago

I'm trying to do Boolean searches but the actor is not running saying issues with the JSON input.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. We're looking at it and l'll let you know what can be done.

Hi, try to remove quotes from your search. The actor gets blocked by Indeed.com when there are quotes in search query. We haven't figured out yet how to get around this.

Thanks for the clarity. I have run it without the quotes but the results are vastly different. I'm specifically looking to run with the quote marks to narrow my searches.

+1. The quotes in the URL makes a lot of difference in terms of quality of results.

Apify team, do you have an update on this or a plan to prioritize getting this fixed?

User avatar

Hey, we are working on it and have some promising paths to try out, but it seems that for some reasons search with quotation marks are much more heavily protected than without...

Hello,

The team finally found a solution, see the sample run - https://console.apify.com/view/runs/g67uCb2LJpMek9hCh

Let us know if you would see further problems in the future.

Thank you

Hello - I'm seeing why this issue has been closed?

The issue hasn't been solved and I believe it is useful for other users to see and comment on the issue until it's actually resolved, would you agree?

User avatar

Hello,

As I reported previously, a fix has been shipped. Do you have examples where it doesn't work (in the last 3 days)? Thanks a lot

No, I haven't tried it again since. I noticed it affected other users so I just wanted to make sure it was prioritised as it's quite a large flaw.
