Having trouble with function "start at" in text section

i'm trying to get information from scrolled web source code. i could scroll the web source with responseContent. I need only part of this source, and I tried to use "segment" function using "start at" function to find out information i need. But this function, "start at", keeps returning 0 all the time.

Here's my source code. Can someone help with this problem?

It says starts at gives me 0 if there's not the text, but actually there is a line "mozilla". I wrote similar code block that is sharing the same problem for showing the problem I'm going through. Could you see this one please?


Here's what i did. if I search something, then I get source code for result page.

I want that string inside the red box. so I used segment block using start at block to specify the string I want.

webcode

The line, "div id="result-stats"" was the only one in this web source(and this is the "mozilla" for this codeblock.), no other same line was there. so I wrote this in start at block. nobr was unique, too. I used this to specify the end of the string.

What I want was to make Label4 to show "~~656,000,000~" part. But, it seems all the start at blocks I used are not working: they always give me 0, but there have to be a line I wrote because I copied the exact same part of the web source. And that's really confusing me.

Here's the codeblock:

Are you searching for amen or the Korean 아멘 ? When I use either word in the search, the div id="result-stats" never appears in the responseContent when I run your aia. So the words cannot be found since they do not appear.

I asked my little brother and solved it.
The website, both Google and Naver is giving different responseContent for different device: computer and phone. And I didn't expect that. Sorry for wasting your time, and Really thank you for your attention because I'm in a real hurry: have to add this till tomorrow. I was really desperate.
