Same error here. It was working perfectly but this week it started to return an empty list

[Anom Chakravorty]

I can see only the knowledge panel and the "people also ask" section. Everything else appears to be empty/null.

Have done a quick hack replacing SELECTORS with below in constants.js since Google has done some changes.

SELECTORS: {
// Organic Search Results
TITLE: 'div.q8U8x.oewGkc.LeUQr',
DESCRIPTION: 'div.MUxGbd.yDYNvb',
URL: 'a.C8nzq.BmP5tf',

This is for if you are just scraping the pages. For other elements, obviously have to do deeper research and do changes.

This fix worked for me #73

Updated description selector (Constants.SELECTORS.DESCRIPTION) in file /lib/utils/constants.js to div[data-snc] > div:nth-child(2) > div

[Vansh]

Nothing worked for me

[Alexander Molochko]

The issue is related to changed selectors, try my fork - https://github.com/CROSP/google-this/tree/main

Or use the following selectors by directly changing the contants.js file

  SELECTORS: {
    // Organic Search Results 
    TITLE: 'a[role="presentation"][ping][data-ved] div[aria-level="3"][role="heading"]',
    DESCRIPTION: 'div[data-sncf="1"] div',
    URL: 'a[role="presentation"][ping][data-ved]',
