now comes through as

Code:

Hans%20Rosling%20&%20Ola%20Rosling%20&%20Anna%20Rosling%20Rönnlund

...and although the spaces are encoded, the ampersands are not and break the URL.

Do I now need a function wrapping each template entry, or...?

I'll have to look at that, as it looks like there was a change made a while ago that might have broken this. In a 2016, the plugin was changed to support templates in the URLs. Before that, the fields were encoded before being put into the URL. With this change, that no longer happened and it was up to the template to do that. I'll have to look back in the thread to see what was discussed at the time.

Spoiler:

That's a Python 3 issue. I've fixed one of these recently. It isn't to fix.

Hello, thanks for this plugin. I recently realized that calling the help link in the config dialog leads to:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre_plugins.search_the_internet.config", line 982, in help_link_activated
  File "calibre_plugins.search_the_internet.action", line 279, in show_help

Sirs,
I have noticed that whenever I have been using Search Google Image Section for a record, and the record has more than one Author, the search could not be accomplished because the **title** is lost in the search and Google just search for the first author. I suspect this issue might be due to the way the ampersand character is managed by PI or Google

http://www.google.com/images?q=%22{author}%22+%22{title}%22

How can I fix this annoying issue?
Thanks for your attention

That is related to the problem that @lairdb reported above. I haven't had a chance to look at it properly and think about how to fix it.

Plugin has stopped working, does not search for books on Google. Can the author be asked, maybe we can fix it.

Thank you

Before we can consider fixing it, we need to know what "stopped working" means. Which option are you using that doesn't work? Have you tried editing the search? The searches included in the plugin are just examples. You can edit them to better suit yourself or fix problems.

bravosx · 02-13-2021, 03:58 AM

@davidfor thank you for your interest in my problem.
I've already dealt with it. I replaced the plugin configuration entry:
- it was:
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&q=%22{author}%22+%22{title}%22
- changed to:
http://www.google.pl/search?q=inauthor:%22{author}%22++intitle:%22{titl e}%22
and the plugin started searching again.

A plugin has a partial problem when there are two or more authors. Then it searches Google for entries by name only, not searching for the book title.

best regards bravosx

Which is the problem discussed in the previous few posts. I'll fix it when I have time, but, if someone else wants to...

Ok. I will wait calmly. Thanks.

Oddness with multiple authors:

I was using the Google Images 400x300 search:

Code:

http://www.google.com/images?as_q={author}+%22{title}%22&tbs=isch:1,isz:lt,islt:qsvga,imgo:1&safe=off

I have this book:

Click image for larger version

Name: 2021-04-15 21_31_22-3000 International Recipe Cookbook.png
Views: 196
Size: 134.1 KB
ID: 186638

for some reason the URL for comes through as this, which then shows only the first author:

Code:

https://www.google.com/images?as_q=Elizabeth%20Smart%20&%20Nella%20Whitfield%20&%20Ann%20Knox%20&%20Nina%20Froud%20&%20Kato%20Frank%20&%20Dorothy%20Daly%20&%20Maro%20Duncan%20&%20Elsa%20Behrens%20&%20Irfan%20Orga%20&%20Agnes%20Ryan+%223000%20International%20Recipe%20Cookbook%22&tbs=isch:1,isz:lt,islt:qsvga,imgo:1&safe=off

It also happens for other books:

Code:

https://www.google.com/images?as_q=Herbert%20S.%20Zim%20&%20Robert%20T.%20Michell+%22Butterflies%20and%20Moths%22&tbs=isch:1,isz:lt,islt:qsvga,imgo:1&safe=off

I think this was mentioned a few posts above. any current fix for it?

davidfor · 04-16-2021, 12:49 AM

Yes, that is the problem discussed above. No, I have not had a look to fix it yet.

capink · 04-16-2021, 06:26 AM

Replacing it with the below seems to work:

Code:

http://www.google.com/images?as_q={authors:re(( & |\s+),+)}+%22{title}%22&tbs=isch:1,isz:lt,islt:qsvga,imgo:1&safe=off
