Most searches I put in return zero results, with no errors. Attaching a sample run.

Thanks for your feedback, this website has been updated and I'm working on a fix.

Excellent, thank you! Will give it a more thorough test today. Cheers

It runs, but it seems to frequently get stuck for a very long time and then ultimately fails. For example this run: OkZR6MTZbFkbNtNdZ

It got the 40 results pretty quickly, but then went on to run for another 15+min and then failed.

Maybe it's caused by the instability of the Apify proxy. Many users have notified me recently, but I will run a test later.

Has your problem gone? I did a test and it still works fine: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/rRlDPMscKBX7h9I3P

Unfortunately it's still not working. I now get 0 results again: AU5Ee9arRCh7lIcI7

I took your input to create a new run, and it works as expected. Maybe the problem came from Apify temporarily: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/9HxrnY3gvxK2m9bQs

I don't think it's Apify, because this seems to happen regularly, and has happened over a span of nearly a couple of weeks. Are you able to add some more logs to see why it fails?

This is the log from the one returning 0 results - doesn't look like any issues on Apify end, it just failed getting results.

Here is another one I just ran - it ran for 17min for some reason, and then returned zero results: 3j7JwiWGmGWJUMCn9 It doesn't look like an Apify issue because it starts up and runs, but this one did fail and it doesn't say why:

I think I know where your problem came from. You were using a data center proxy. I tested three options—no proxy, residential proxy, and data center proxy—and found that the data center option actually slowed down the actor and made it unstable. Maybe you could try using a residential proxy or no proxy instead? I've also updated some conditions in the actor to improve its stability.

Got it, thank you. I'll give that a try.
