CloseReview for Encyclopedia Britannica by Han Leushuis
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Dear David, the Encyclopædia Britannica add-on doesn't work anymore in Firefox and Seamonkey. We do arrive on the Britannica site but with an error message that the page does not exist. If we type in the same search query in the Britannica site, the right answer comes but with a different URL, so I guess this is where the problem lies. The URL for e.g. the query "mount sinai" the add-on uses is "http://www.britannica.com/bps/search?query=mount+sinai". The URL Britannica now uses is "http://www.britannica.com/search?query=mount sinai". Can you correct it? Can you check that it works in both Firefox and Seamonkey? Britannica is so much better than Wikipedia! Thanks! Han
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (20100713).Thanks for highlighting the error, Han. I have corrected the URL in the search plugin, and tested it using Firefox.
