That’s normal. It’ll do that when you paste in a URL if it ends with a folder. What’s the problem?

Also, why are you using OCR to get text from a web page, instead of just the Get Text activity? OCR is inaccurate and unnecessary here.

Adding forward slash making site in accessible. I just want to search and extract once search page loaded. How can I remove forward slash from open browser activity while searching?

It’s not UiPath adding the forward slash, it’s the browser. Why would the slash make it inaccessible? It’s normal for URLs that end in a folder (rather than a filename) to have a slash on the end.

You don’t have just “forbes” as the URL in your variable, do you? That’s not a URL.

It’s not the URL. It’s just company name. I’m just searching & trying to extract address from Google from search results.

Then your URL in Open Browser should be…

"https://www.google.com/search?q=" + CurrentRow.Item("s3").ToString

Also, you don’t need the url variable and the assign. It’s redundant and pointless. Just reference CurrentRow wherever you need it.

Also, at this point you really should be working in modern mode and using the Use Application/Browser activity.
