Navigate to the settings menu and locate the harvester engine configuration option. From there, access the import function and proceed to download the default engines.
If the download of default engines is unsuccessful, return to the settings menu and find the harvester engine configuration option.
Next, select the option labeled "google." Afterwards, locate the "Marker For Next Page" box and replace the current code with the following line of code (remove the existing code and paste this new code into that specific box):
<span style="display:block;margin-left:53px">|<img border="0" src="nav_next.gif"|src="nav_next_2.gif" width="100"|<br><strong>Next</strong>|filter=0">Next|<span>></span>|aria-label="More results"
Provide a fresh name for the Display Name field.
Click on the option to add it as a new engine.
When you proceed to the harvesting process, choose the recently named engine.

I appreciate Loopline for providing the answer, and I'm glad it worked for you! However, I've noticed that several keywords are not geting any harvested results. Is the harvester status functioning correctly in this case?

Indeed, the harvester is functioning as intended. However, it is important to note that the harvester will only make a certain number of attempts for each keyword, as specified by the number of retries you have set.
To adjust this setting, follow these steps: Go to the settings menu, then navigate to connections timeouts and other settings. From there, access more harvester options and locate the proxy retries option. Set the value in the proxy retries box to the maximum allowed. By doing this, Scrapebox will use the maximum number of proxies specified and then proceed to skip the keyword if no results are obtained.
I'm glad to hear that the harvester is now working for you!

Hey @loopline, thanks for your help. I set the max proxy retries like you said and tested it for a bit, but some keywords still don't show any harvester results."
Let me know if this works!

Obviously, proxies will change things."

If keywords are being skipped, it means you probably have a lot of bad proxies. For example, if you have proxy retries set to 10, Scrapebox will try 10 proxies before skipping the keyword. Also, your 429 test shows a blocked IP.
You just need to wait 48 hours and see if the proxies unblock, assuming they're paid proxies. If not, get new ones. If they're public proxies, I'm surprised you're getting the results you are.
You can also try using the detailed harvester with a delay to prevent proxies from getting blocked. But remember, the detailed harvester will keep retrying forever, so if you go too fast, you'll eventually block all your proxies."
