1 start URLs contain quoted queries (containing double quotation marks), which are 2024-07-15T10:46:15.964Z heavily blocked by Indeed and may lead to failed requests and incomplete results. Please consider removing the quotes from your queries.

this is my input - https://uk.indeed.com/jobs?q=%22machine+learning+engineer%22&l=United+Kingdom&from=searchOnDesktopSerp&vjk=71dbe0a8e326a57b&sort=date

Hi Gareth, thanks for opening this issue!

Yes, as the logs state, quoted queries are currently so heavily blocked that we just can't scrape them. Your browser has automatically encoded the URL to it's URL form, so the quotes got escaped to %22.

This is the equivalent URL with the quotes removed: https://uk.indeed.com/jobs?q=machine+learning+engineer&l=United+Kingdom&from=searchOnDesktopSerp&vjk=71dbe0a8e326a57b&sort=date

Try it out and let me know how it works, thanks and happy scraping!

I spoke with Andrey about this. This does not solve the original issue and the data that's coming back.

Hi Owen, Thanks for reopening the issue.

This is Ivan from the Product Advocacy team.

After our call, we synced up with the team, and the feature should be working now. Could you please double-check it with any "specification" input?

It should return the results you're looking for.

Thank you, and have a great day!

Best regards, Ivan

Great Ivan, it appears to be working now.

Here's the run ID if you or the team want to check: 8fgqBG9MKKYQON4hb

Hi again, thanks for sharing your successful run. It's indeed working well now :)

We've also just removed the warning logs about the “quoted” searches from the scraper, so it will now be fully seamless.

I will close this issue now, feel free to reopen it if you experience any problems with this, thanks!
