Broken, results do not resemble same query via web

Open rlayne opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

E.g.: people wearing masks in public -> lots of Donald Trump images Results as expected when used on the website image search.

Any query seems to result in repeating images too.
This lib is currently broken and not fit for purpose.

Hey @rlayne, did you manage to fix it? I'm having the same problem and would like to know if it's a simple solution or if you found an alternative?

To anyone facing the same issue and to the author, rollback to version 1.0.4 appears to solve the poor query results. Compared both commits and couldn't see a major difference in the query parameters so the problem might not be it.

If someone needs an how to: pip install bing-image-downloader==1.0.4
