Google Search Connector - Description is Missing

Bugs
#1

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the Google Search query is currently no longer working properly.

In other words, no values ​​are displayed for the description, although some exist.

Until recently I was also able to use a trick, because wherever no description was given, this was the featured snippet.

Would it be possible to fix this and install an update?
A possibility to identify the featured snippets would be terrific.

I hope for quick help because I need the data for a project quickly.

Best regards, Stella

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. I've updated the code (Google often changes the results page structure) and it should work if you update the connector:

Heyy,

it's me again

I noticed that when I retrieve Google Search, position 0 is no longer displayed.

Is it possible to adjust that again? That would be great.

Here is an example keyword for Germany:
what do you do for your 60th birthday (German: was macht man zum 60 geburtstag)

sofaconcerts.org has the FS and is unfortunately not displayed when I call it up. Can you change that? Preferably with an empty description. Then I know that Google is playing an FS here.

Best regards from Berlin,
Stella

Yes, unfortunately Google keeps changing the HTML structure and I wasn't able to reliably get the description field for the latest update.

Thanks for the fast respond. It's always great.

Does it really not work to specify position 0 at all? The description is not necessary, only the URL for position 0?

Maybe there is a little "hack" ? Or an extra scraping just for featured snippets? I could then match them afterwards?

Would be great if it would work :smiley: Best regards, Stella
