"Search the internet for..." causes AttributeError

[Neil Fawcett]

Windows 10 x64, 1803, build 17134.950

I upgraded Calibre to 3.47 and since the upgrade, any use of the right-click "Search the internet for" causes the following error:

calibre, version 3.47.0

I have made sure the plug-ins installed have also been upgraded.

Upgrage to 3.47.1 and you will be fine.

Please ignore this...

...wipe and reload of the PC & re-install Calibre and there's no longer a problem.

Sorry for wasting your time...

It is definitely not something to be ignored, you had a legitimate bug.

However, uninstalling and reinstalling meant that you downloaded the minor bugfix release which fixed it. ;) So all is well.
