I just performed a standard search on Google and received:

Server Error
The service you requested is not available at this time.
Service error -27.

I have tried multiple phrases from different desktops only to receive this same error.

Anyone else getting similar results?

same here....hmmmm. Thats a first for me.

Got it here too on both google.com and google.ca.

i just heard it on the radio: it said that they are trying to figure out why their server has crashed. they say its possible sabotage

Sweet....Kindof.

G-mail is still working *phew* ....

Seems the BBC has something to report on this Google Down.

very intereting article..... Funny, I got an email from my isp today that said my email address had been used during the last 24 hours to send an ennormous amount of email.... wonder if that was really from my isp???

News report said that all major search engines were hit by a virus that overloaded them with junk email. Supposed to be over a couple hours ago.

what i heard from some very close sources at google is that due to their release to the market today, they were hit by major competitors (or so believed) Investigations are going on now, and google is spending top money. Google and Yahoo are affiliates, so they were both down. Googles stocks are around 120 dollars/share with 200 million shares open. That is a lot of freakin money....and i gues someone didnt like that.... hmmm

mydooom virus hit all major search engines. Its been all over the UK news.

works by scanning your computer for domain names, then querying them in search engines to look for emails.
