[FIXED] Selenium "sendkeys" does not work with a particular website but manually typing it in works

Issue

https://phytozome-next.jgi.doe.gov/blast-search

on this website if i use the blast tool with the sequence "MARPFTLSLLSLCLLLSAWSCFGGSSSTNRFNICQLNSLNALKPDHRVETDGGLVETWSSRHPELECAGVTVTRRTLYRNGFQMPSYSPYSQMIMAIQGKGALGLALSGCAETYEEPAKESSSSSQKPSDSHQKIRQFDQGHVMLIPRGVPFWIFNTGDEPLITVTLLDTSSEDNQLDQSPREFYLAGNPDIEHPEAMKEKQQQQAEEEGGNVLSGFGKRFLARALNIDQDTANKLISPDDEMKQIVKLKEGLSVISPKWQGQQEDEDEDDDDEDEDESVSRPSRRPSHGKRVHKEEETVVEPYPHGKHVHKEVEKEVEPLPPRKHVHKEEEKEIEPLPPRRSRHHHDEGEDEGEEEEKPRARRTRGPTPSPKGEGHRGVEEEDESEDTKGHKTRHEKTRHEKSWKEHRPEGEDVEKGEAHEEWETRPSKDKPHGSNGLDETICSSKLQFNIARPKGADFYNPKAGRIKNLNSQSLPALQHFGLSAQYVVLYKNGIYSPHWNMDANSVIYVIRGQGQVRVVNNEGIVMFDDELKKGQLLVVPQNFMVAEEAGDQGFEYVVFKTNDNAVTSYLKETFRAFPAEVLVNIYKLKHSQVHDLKYNGNLGPLVNPENSLDQSS"

along with Archaeplastida selected in order to return all results i get 100 results

when i use selenium with the chrome driver the web page informs me that "The Phytozome service couldn't get what you were after."

i have narrowed the problem down to something involving send keys, since if i run selenium all the way up to the point where it sends keys and i input the keys myself it works just fine.

Solution

i am not sure what the problem was but i simply used execute script instead of send keys. that posed another issue, which i resolved by sending a space key and then clicking backspace.

i tried everything including sending the keys one by one with a space in between and this was the only thing that worked.
