Questions:
  • Could ordering be the problem?
  • Are the results sorted anywhere?
    • update_hash() sort before generating the hash
Observations:
  • You can test with this input:
    • | webscrape selector=".grid__cell-content > h2" url="https://www.nomanssky.com/release-log/" depth_limit=25 empty_matches=0
  • The match count matches
  • The linux host gets an MD5 of b260551723b6ded8951f3c072ba3254b when running the input. However, it gets an MD5 of a320a89e92c6f2d22699d73e496be873 from the search command and from the input on another host.
  • The results look the same
  • The results hash to the same results in search
    • source="web_input://no_mans_sky_updates" | table _time url match* content_md5 raw_match_count | eval n=mvjoin(match, "") | eval md5=md5(n)
