   I checked BOTH websites.   The Russian one is fine, it is the other one 
that has the error.

   Yes, Greg is correct.  The code still shows.   So I checked the html and 
found the problem.

   The URL for the archive search ends with a double inverted commas: i.e.  
"" where there should be only one.  Later Links are able to ignore it, but 
the Links2 that is an add-on to BL3 does not.

   Because Arachne is also able to ignore that grammatical error.
