findpapers failing to retreive ACM papers

[iannunes]

With the query ([unsupervised]) AND ([deep learning] OR [neural network]) AND [segmentation], there was no result from ACM.

While almost 2000 from IEEE and SCOPUS.

I faced the same issue, and while I prefer not to modify the source code, it is one of those times to do so. I updated heavily the acm_searcher.py and a bit the search_runner_tool.py, especially for debugging and info logging.

Note: I also use the findpapers 0.6.7 version.

Do you guys still have this problem? The ACM doesn't have an API, so the search is scrapping-based. From time to time, I need to modify something to make it work properly.
