Expected behavior

I was expecting the search() function to return a non-empty array with the search results, such as an array of image URLs or other relevant data. Specifically, I was not expecting the result to be an empty array like {results: []}.

Current behavior

The current behavior is that the search() function is consistently returning an empty results list, represented as an empty array like {results: []}, regardless of the image that is passed as an argument. I have tested the function with multiple images, including those that were previously working before April, but it is still returning an empty results array.

I have searched the existing issues and made sure this is not a duplicate.
I have provided sufficient information.

Same issue over here. Although, it seems they already know about it as there is already a closed issue on it

same issue

For anyone reading this, sorry for the silence in this repo. I want to fix all the bugs and migrate it to TypeScript at some point but I always end up forgetting about it.

Yes please changing to typescript will be heaven

has there been any update on this? i have the same issue right now, but would to make this work!

edit: looked into this a little bit further by inserting some console.logs on the main.js. it turns out that for me google is blocking my requests and shows a a captcha page.

I'm also experiencing the same issue.

It seems also happens on non image search. Any updates? @LuanRT

I think they've changed the tag for the description:
This returns no results:

google-this/lib/core/nodes/OrganicResults.js

Line 61 in 5bca62f

const descriptions = $(Constants.SELECTORS.DESCRIPTION)

Resulting in statement this being false:

google-this/lib/core/nodes/OrganicResults.js

Line 128 in 5bca62f

if (titles[i] && descriptions[i] && urls[i]) {

Which means the results are never populated
Sorry don't know enough javascript to make fix

this issue renders the entire package unusable, hoping a fix is applied soon

is the fix going to be merged any time soon?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
