Have been looking + for a while + but for now + has been

Hello,

I am a bit confused with the tenses and I'm wondering if this sentence is correct:
I have been looking for Emily in this place for a while, but for now it has been only a waste of my time.

Is this sentence okay?

Not quite. I have been looking for Emily in this place for a while, but so far / until now it has been only a waste of my time.
