Hi AngelsCry,
Here are my settings.
I edit a game item (e.g. "sonic") and just try to get fanart for it. No matter what I type, no results are found using the Google scraper without any messages (is there a log somewhere?). It's quite frustrating, really...Oh, pasting this
in my browser is coming up with results. Weird, eh?
Thanks again.
Edit:
Ok. Bad news. My fear is confirmed. Google somehow banned me using this plugin. I know it sounds strange but I tried with a proxy (Hotspot shield) and damn!: results.
This all happened after I used the Google scraper to scrape images for a large romset so they've probably set up some banning rules. Now what?
Here are my settings.
Code:
