Google has confirmed a bug that prevents some searchers from using Google search.
First reported in a Google Web Search Help thread just about two weeks ago, some users are unable to get any search results at Google.
The first report said:
In Firefox, old and new versions alike, trying to do a search on a results page while not being logged into a google account does nothing.Tried hitting enter, nothing. Tried hitting the search button, nothing.
If Google isn't working, he said the "Internet is broken."
Googler, Hach, confirmed the bug a day later, saying:
This issue has been fixed but might take a while to roll-out to everyone. Please let me know if you continue to have problems searching on the results page.As you know, we rely on the support of our amazing user community - thanks everyone for your help!
The issue is, many are still reporting that they cannot search using Google and Firefox. Technically, I am not sure what the issue is but maybe it isn't really fixed?
