Not returning anything on certain websites #37

Description

@eatanga-git

It seems like certain websites or elements don't return anything?

This worked:

const [isLoading, setLoading] = useState(true);
const [data, setData] = useState("");

  useEffect(() => { 
  
   fetch('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_(band)')
    .then(response => response.text())
    .then(result => new JSSoup(result, false))
    .then(f=>(f.findAll('span','mw-headline')[1]))
    .then((t => t.getText()))
    .then(f => setData(f))
    .catch(function(error) {
      setData('There has been a problem with your fetch operation: ' + error.message);
       // ADD THIS THROW error
        throw error;
      }).finally(() => setLoading(false));

    },[])

    return(
      <Text>{data}</Text>
    )

But this did NOT work:

 const [isLoading, setLoading] = useState(true);
 const [data, setData] = useState("");

  useEffect(() => {
  
   fetch('https://www.google.com/search?q=sony')
    .then(response => response.text())
    .then(result => new JSSoup(result, false))
    .then(f=>(f.findAll('h2', 'LC20lb MBeuO DKV0Md')[1]))
    .then((t => t.getText()))
    .then(f => setData(f))
    .catch(function(error) {
      setData('There has been a problem with your fetch operation: ' + error.message);
       // ADD THIS THROW error
        throw error;
      }).finally(() => setLoading(false));

    },[])

    return(
      <Text>{data}</Text>
    )

I received a "[Unhandled promise rejection: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 't.getText')]" error for the 2nd code example.
Why is this the case?
