Its nothing to do with the musicbee release. It looks like google have effectively made extracting full size original images from search results impossible so I will likely remove the functionality

Bing images may be an acceptable substitute  https://www.bing.com/images
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

Great minds indeed. Thanks Steven.

Since I'm using 3.4 exclusively at this point I'll wait until the next alpha.

using v3.4 patch

Just a heads up ... 3.4 is an early alpha version. It's a very stable alpha, but it's still possible bugs may show up. There's no timetable for it's 'official' release as it will go to beta first. If you're concerned about using an alpha version, you have options:
1- keep using your current 3.3 version - you can apply the latest 3.3 patch over the 3.4 patch you just applied.
2- download the portable 3.3 version and place it in a completely new directory and then apply the 3.4 patch
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.
