Google Scholar problem

Today my Online Search google scholar stopped working. Now the references come up but they are not visible. Only the bottom part of the result window works, which makes its use tedious. I tried restarting BE but it did not work. Thanks for looking into this.

I'm having the same problem using the built in browser to do a google scholar search: the results list shows up as blank, though I can see details about individual hits in the bottom frame.

That's because Google Scholar changed the way they output the results last night. I've already made modifications to deal with this and uploaded a silent update a short time ago. Please download 11.2.3 again and it should work now. I'll probably release an accelerated and official 11.2.4 in a few days.

I downloaded 11.2.3 again and now it seems to be working, thanks. One note, how can I tweak google scholar to download complete name of author rather than initials? Thanks.

You can't. You take what Google gives you (and like it).

P.S. GS is the least good of the various general sources we offer in terms of reference quality.

I downloaded the latest version of 11.2.3
Google results now display correctly for Online Search.
Google results are still incorrect for Autocomplete Paper.

I've updated Autocomplete Paper to work with the new GS output. A bonus is that Bookends will also import the (usually partial) abstracts provided by GS, if present. I plan to release the update early, probably in the next day or two.

Has the updated version, correcting the invisible results for GS autocomplete, been released?
