When the Global_Configuration/Site/SEO_Options are set to:

Search Engine Friendly URLs: Yes

I come across errors with the weblinks...

If you navigate through the menu items to weblink, it will present you with a working URL:

www.mywebsite.com/links?task=weblink.go&id=101 = Correct

Using the Search utility to find the same weblink will return the following URL:

www.mywebsite.com/component/weblinks/2-other-21591/101-flanchford-bridge-scc-news-page?Itemid=180 = Broken, not working.

If I set:

Search Engine Friendly URLs: No

Both the Search & Navigation through the menu items will return a working URL:

Through Menu item navigation:

www.mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_weblinks&task=weblink.go&id=101&Itemid=66

Through the Search:

www.mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_weblinks&view=weblink&id=101:flanchford-bridge-scc-news-page&catid=2:other-21591&Itemid=180

Request:

Please can you help me find a solution so that I can keep SEF URL's turned 'ON', and to have the joomla search function return working links. As I currently get 404 pages when clicking a weblink found on a search result...

Please do not advice me to simply 'why not keep it off then?', because I have 1000's of links setup on the site and would like to keep SEF 'ON'

Thank you for reading this.

Any Comments or Contributions are very welcome.

My guess is that the menu is messed up. (Yes i know you said the menu one works.) Try recreating the menu item.

Otherwise

Maybe you modified/overrided a file in components\com_weblinks\? Look at last mod date. Maybe have a look at components\com_weblinks\router.php 

function ContentParseRoute()
