Hello @usctzen, it looks like your program is OK. Are you seeing issues where you set search_titles: True
but receive results where "Softail" is in the model of the post and not in the title?
Hi Ira,
Actually, I understood that I was searching for the model, but also searched in the title in case the model wasn't filled properly.
I do get results like that. I have always assumed that if found they were at le found in the category.
Here is a sample
2001 HARLEY DAVIDSON | Price $5,800 | Location WEST PALM BEACH https://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/mcy/d/west-palm-beach-2001-harley-davidson/7253630894.html
HARLEY HERITAGE SOFTAIL 2002 | Price $5,500 | Location HOLLYWOOD https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/mcy/d/hollywood-harley-heritage-softail-2002/7253302130.html
HARLEY DAVIDSON 2004 | Price $5,999 | Location PALM BEACH CO https://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/mcy/d/lake-worth-harley-davidson-2004/7248461620.html
HARLEY HERITAGE SOFTAIL CLASSIC 1993 | Price $5,200 | Location CLEWISTON https://miami.craigslist.org/brw/mcy/d/harley-heritage-softail-classic-1993/7247165096.html

Ira,
I just ran a test with the filter set to False and I get the exact same result. Like if the filter is not functioning.
Thanks for your help

Hi @usctzen.
Just to clarify, the search_titles
filter works only in combination with the query
filter. By itself, the search_titles
will just be ignored.
So for example, an instance with (..., filters={'query': 'spacious', 'search_titles': True})
will only return entries that contain the word "spacious" on their titles.
Does that make sense? I think that should explain the issue you're having.
Ok, thanks for the clarification. I'll try to see if I can use it.
Thanks again for a great product and should I make some money with it, I would love to contribute something.

Let me know if that works for you. I'll close this issue for now. If you encounter any issue, feel free to re-open it.
Hi and thanks again for this great tool.
I am using the search_titles option for a keyword and I have come to realize that it may not be working properly.
As an example, am using the keyword 'Softail' to search for Harley bikes and it does flag the ones with Softail in the title.
Here is a sample of the code I use.
Could you check or tell me what I am doing wrong?
