LinkedIn search suddenly returning a 404 [Fixed 3.3 b787 pre-release]

[HeatherH]

I frequently use Alfred's built-in search for LinkedIn. This morning the built-in search is resulting in a 404 at LinkedIn. I am guessing Microsoft is changing how search works now that they have acquired LinkedIn.

 

A successful search in LinkedIn today returns a URL of the from: https://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/f?orig=SPCK&keywords={query}. I am guessing this is different from the built-in search. If I create a custom search with this search URL it works fine. Is there a way to edit the built-in search to work with this new URL format?

@HeatherH Thanks for spotting this - I'm going to move it into the bugs forum and have it fixed for the next release

 

Cheers,

@HeatherH This is now fixed in the 3.3 pre-release b787

I'm still using version 2.8.7.  Will this be fixed in version 2?

[Andrew]

@koolio yep - I'll fix it in a maintenance release of Alfred 2. For now, you can disable the default web search and add a custom search for the url above

 

Cheers,

Andrew
