TagUI: 1_google.tag fails to find element q - try this, google.com different for diff locations

Plain vanilla TagUI macOS install, per the instructions. Fails to find anything:

nathan@Nathans-MBP samples % tagui ./1_google.tag 

START - automation started - Tue Feb 23 2021 10:25:08 GMT-0600 (CST)

https://www.google.com - Google
type q as latest movies[enter]
click (//*[@class="g"])[1]//a
ERROR - cannot find (//*[@class="g"])[1]//a

Using Chrome TagUI plugin, I discover the search box is not named as “q” but as “.gLFyf.gsfi”:

https://www.google.com/
type .gLFyf.gsfi as solar ecpipselipse[enter]

If I edit 1_google.tag to match the weird name, it works:

nathan@Nathans-MBP samples % tagui ./1a_google.tag

FINISH - automation finished - 11.5s

What is wrong here? Google page source:

<input class="gLFyf gsfi" maxlength="2048" name="q" type="text" jsaction="paste:puy29d" aria-autocomplete="both" aria-haspopup="false" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" autocorrect="off" autofocus="" role="combobox" spellcheck="false" title="Search" value="" aria-label="Search" data-ved="0ahUKEwjRrJP6zoDvAhUJSa0KHaPmB0IQ39UDCAY">

It appears TagUI only looks for the “input class”, and not the name? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
