Google Search Issue?

By: , 11/17/2010 12:00 am | 12 comments

We have recently been having an issue with Google searches from our webOS device. The issue is sometimes we get no results for searches that we know should have an abundance of results. For example, we searched for “Palm Pre” several times today and Google returned 0 results. We all know that if you search for the Palm Pre you will get more results than you can shake a stick at! This problem is completely random as far as we can tell. Sometimes this happens and then the same search hours later will return results.

So, to make sure the problem wasn’t an isolated incident we asked several others in the community if they too are having issues with this. Surprisingly, others are having the very same problem too. How many of you are experiencing this new Google related issue? We have reached out to Google on this matter and eagerly await their response. Of course we will let all of our readers know their response if/when we get it.

flattr this!

    I wonder if Android had the same issues? ;)

    • Serentic

      Probably not, but then again the Android market is so disorganized you could never possibly tell.

    What carrier? I was having an issue on Sprint last week where I couldn’t reach Google at all.

    • Ryan St. Andrie

      I have Sprint and this has been happening for roughly a week or so. As stated in the article this is happening to more than just myself. We honestly are just curious how far this issue spreads as maybe it will point to an answer. However as it stands right now it’s completely random.

    I have Sprint and have never had an issue with Google search on my Pre. Yet.

  • JDM

    Seems to be working again

    • Ryan St. Andrie

      You would be correct buddy. I haven’t had one failed search today. Of course we haven’t received any kind of a response from Google but I’m sure our emails and this article had something to do with it. Either way thanks for letting me know you are no longer having this issue either
