This continues to be a source of confusion for Google Sheets users.
A user recently opened a Public Roadmap issue due to this:
As part of #1406 I changed this to organic_results.0.title
, on the basis that it's more likely to work on typical engines.
Just to clarify, it currently shows organic_results.0.title
for all engines, including Google News.
I mentioned this since a customer confused about this. Intercom
I had a user run into some confusion with this, as well working with the Google Maps API
=SERPAPI_RESULT("engine=google_maps&type=search&google_domain=google.com&q=Coffee&ll=" & ENCODEURL("@40.7455096,-74.0083012,14z") & "&hl=en", "organic_results.0.title")
organic_results.0.title
instead of local_results.0.title
Customers typically try to copy and paste the Google Sheets formula from Export to Code into their Google Sheets and expect it to work as is. Currently the default
selector
is always "suggestions.0.value" which leads to an error for most engines.While the customer would still need to learn about how to modify the selector to get the data points they are interested in, at a minimum we can provide a different selector depending on which engine is used.
Potentially we could also have this change based on which element or key the user has clicked in the iFrame or JSON. However this might require more work.
