I hope is everything clear, if not please answer me with a constructive suggestion.

Solution

Here is an example you can use as a guide. The URL you use does not have a result list. I would suggest you use something like https://www.allkeyshop.com/blog/catalogue/search-game/. It appears, what comes after the hyphen is what is being searched. You may need to do a few complicated searches to see how the URL changes.

This example uses Task. In the Task setOnSuccedded updates the TableView.
