The webpage does contain the requested text; however, the OCR was unable to locate it.

I have tried to edit the UI element to click on the search result if it contains the text, but it still didn't work - Click failed (Failed to get UI element)

 

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Does increasing timewout would help in identifying the text, could you try that way?

     

    Or make sure that screen where the text is present is in foreground so that text data can be captured easily.

    In addition to what @Nived_Nambiar suggested, have you also tried testing this with different parameters of the OCR engine? There are usually text height and width multipliers that you may need to experiment with to find the best match that works with the specific font on the page.

     

    Also, if this is in a web page, it might make more sense to try to use Browser automation actions and click on an element with a custom selector, or use JavaScript, instead of OCR. OCR is always quite fragile and not very robust.
