Issue: Google Search Output Always Returns "Nobody here but us chickens!"

For nearly a week, every search query using the Google engine returns the same message:

Nobody here but us chickens!
Have you tried:

Using a different scraper

Using fewer keywords

Defining broader filters (Is NSFW turned off?)

Other search engines are functioning correctly with the same proxy setup, so the issue appears to be isolated to Google.

I’ve tested various keywords, filters, but the result doesn’t change. I haven’t found a workaround so far.

Environment:

Running last master
Debian 12
Proxy status: Working normally
Affected engine: Google only
Duration: ~1 week

Request:

Could someone look into whether there have been any changes with Google scraping support or offer suggestions for resolving this?

Hello mister turtle

I'm aware of the issue, I've been getting the error on and off through my proxies. I know it's jank, but could you edit the google.php scraper at line 958 and add the following

echo htmlspecialchars($html);
die();

And then send the output of that through pastebin or whatever. From there I will be able to handle whatever the fuck is happening. (Probably an unhandled google error)

Also, I don't mind you putting your own donation links on your instance but please don't remove mine. Thanks!

The captcha page should be handled correctly now. Please re-open if I fucked up
