    What's up with Google?

    Since earlier today, 95% of my search results won't generate anything. Just a blank page. The only way I can 'fix' it is if I refresh the shit out of it until it decides to stop being garbage.

    I can barely even Google the problem. Anyone else experiencing this same gong show?

    it's on your end. Try a different browser, try clearing cache, try on another computer on the same network.

    no i'm getting that happen too, new tabs seems to load searches but being on the actual page usually brings back a blank page.

    although i have a fault on my line atm which should be fixed on tuesday, my bandwidth is down to 0.4mbs it still 'works'. shouldn't be the cause of the problem. though, i thought it might be adblock or noscript but its not, its just something is broken somewhere.

    See if some of these workarounds help.

    "This issue is not being experienced by all users, but Google are aware of it and are working on a fix.

    A few temporary workarounds have been suggested:

    1. In Search Settings, select • Never show Instant results, scroll down and click Save.

    2. Bookmark https://www.google.com/webhp?noj=1 for searching

    3. Search from the browser address bar

    4. Search from an incognito window

    5. Sign out of your Google account"

    Thank god, this problem has been annoying the hell out of me for the last 6 days. For the first time ever, I had to change my homepage to another search engine because of this issue. It's good to know that google is working on the problem. I'll try setting my homepage to that link in #2, for now, to see if that helps.

    Had it happen earlier, but I just closed and reopened my browser and it seemed to fix it for me. I thought I had finally stumped Google, alas the quest continues.
