@paradadf said in Is it just me, or does the text search function on the Scraper not work?:
@Dinierto I told you that the internal scraper was bad and slow, and suggested you to use the other. Furthermore, I told you that there were plenty of info about that on the forum. I answered you in a polite way, you were the one being disrespectful with your answer. And you didn't search for an answer as you were told.
How in the world was I being disrespectful? I explained the reason for my question, that's all. Your response was to then accuse me of not reading the linked resources, which I certainly had, and, by the way, neither of which says "the text search in the ES Scraper is completely broken," which would have answered my one and ONLY question.
I didn't aswer? Well... what about your questions from 13 days ago?
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/4239/scraping-issues/6
Quoting the conversation you had with the developer who answered you here too:
The scrapper embedded in es is not reliable at all.
Is there any attempt to improve this behavior?
No, as we have some workarounds that work much better. The internal scraper is not something we expect to spend time on
And the GitHub issue you opened two days ago...? Again, I was the one who answered you and gave you the link to a much older issue I opened about the internal scraper search function. If you would have followed the link, you would have read the exact same thing from the very same developer.

My earlier posts were about a seperate issue. I posted that the Scraper wouldn't return results for games with punctuation in them. So now, when I tried searching for text strings and realized that this also seems to be an issue, I asked on this forum if it was just me or another bug.
The difference between you and me is that I don|t need your help. Being so annoyingly insistent about something that has been repetitively answered to you (and others before you) is something nobody here has to tolerate. If I would have the administrative rights, I would ban you from the forum. Good bye!
I'm glad you don't have those privileges because it seems ludicrous to ban someone after asking a very simple question.
Rather than arguing in circles and creating more insults, perhaps this thread could be closed.
