Google `organic_results` is scraping nonexistent HTML elements
complete
Gustav Gennrich
Milos Djurdjevic To add some more information around this: In addition to including nonexistent HTML elements, the order of the JSON
organic_results
does not reflect the HTML. It is wildly different in some cases.It looks like this has been completed but wanted to confirm that was addressed as well? Also, how long was this a live bug? We want to get a better sense for how far back this is impacting our reporting.

Gustav Gennrich: Hi Gustav. This issue was first reported to us on Jul 24. So the bug was live at least for three days. As for the issue itself, everything should be back to normal now. Problem was that
related_questions
were being included inside the organic_results
because of a change Google made to their HTML structure.Gustav Gennrich
Milos Djurdjevic: Thank you!
