Search results not showing up & removal from the Plugin Store #5

Open fourteen-1 opened 2 years ago

I just installed this plugin but the upon typing in something, no search results show up.

How to fix this?

jjw24 commented 2 years ago

Hi, did you use the hotkey 'gs'?

fourteen-1 commented 2 years ago

It didn't work at first, but now it randomly started working. Its very slow to load the results, however (it takes at least 6-8 seconds to load). Is that a fixable issue?

jjw24 commented 2 years ago

Maybe but not sure without taking a proper look.

I have the same situation.

jjw24 commented 2 years ago

Hmm the only thing I can think of is internet connection. Could you attach the log when this happens again please.

jjw24 commented 2 years ago

Hey how's it going, are you still having this issue?

Hi Jeremy,

Unfortunately, yes. It takes 3-5 seconds for the search results to show up. It depends though, on the search term length. the longer the search the more time it takes to load results. Sometimes very specific terms render no search results whatsoever.

Maybe it takes time for the plugin to load data from google? I couldn't tell you.

I'm currently relying on the native google search feature that can be found in the pre-installed Web Searches plugin.

I can confirm the same issue. No results, just the loading bar for about a second then nothing. No errors logged.

Able to repro this one. Had a quick look, Google's results page layout has changed, so the plugin is no longer retrieving the correct element to parse the results.

Will need to spend some time to look at how to parse the search results on the website again.

Until fixed I believe this is happening for everyone.

This is where the fallout occurs. The parsing is not picking up the right elements anymore. https://github.com/jjw24/Wox.Plugin.GoogleSearch/blob/d74c0ad8f6a84d72dacca2ea4a11c5255453f128/GoogleSearch.cs#L41-L49

Due to priorities I will not have time to look into this plugin, and will remove it from the Store.

Anyone else please feel free to give it a go, I am still available to merge if a fix is found.
