Short version: I need to fix the Rate Your Music link.
I have the links where they have been for many versions and have used them frequently when tagging and seeking data or images.
Unfortunately, the link for Rate Your Music has become corrupted and no longer takes me to the Artist's page on RYM.
Can someone please tell me the syntax for the proper Base URL and Search URL so I can restore this functionality?
Thank you.

Seems to still work:

I tried a search but failed, Thank You!
I got that pasted in and it does take me to RYM, but to a blank search.
https:////rateyourmusic.com//search?searchtype=a&searchterm=Replace([artist],/ ,+)</Item>
which goes to this URL:
https://rateyourmusic.com/search?searchtype=a&searchterm=The+Jimi+Hendrix+Experience%3CItem%3E
I am apparently missing something there.
If you have any ideas, great, otherwise this is better than it was, so thanks

Maybe a typo. This works: https://rateyourmusic.com/search?searchtype=&searchterm=The+Jimi+Hendrix+Experience

Yup, it works. But how do I replace searchterm=The+Jimi+Hendrix+Experience with the syntax to the current artist instead of Jimi?
I've tried various combinations of your link and the one in the previous post to soer the Artist field, but no luck.

Copy the whole
<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">RateYourMusic</Item>
<Item Name="Action">2</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">https:////rateyourmusic.com//</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">https:////rateyourmusic.com//search?searchtype=a&searchterm=Replace([artist],/ ,+)</Item>
</Link>
and paste it using Paste Link Information From Clipboard. You have additional item close tag in yours query. Remove then your defected Rate Your Music link. Of course you can fix your current link manually also by removing </Item> from the query

Oh! ::)
I was just pasting the search string into its field. That solved it.
Thanks again.
