Search Service on Google Briefly Fails

By LIZ ROBBINS

Published: January 31, 2009

Google’s Internet search service malfunctioned for nearly 55 minutes Saturday morning, upending
users around the world with search results that carried false safety warnings and Web links that did
not work.

The company acknowledged Saturday that all searches produced links with the same warning
message: “This site may harm your computer.” Clicking on any of the links led to an error message
stating that the desired site could not be reached.

Not a big deal really. Google just briefly labeled all search results as something that may harm your computer. Notice "This site may harm your computer" under each search result.
