Is it just me, or has Google been pretty craptacular as of late? Google Image Search does not work. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" search that Firefox's location bar invokes does not work. WTF?

No, I think it's just you.

Consider yourself special; Google could mess up for anyone in the whole wide world, and yet it chose you.

Nearly every other site works fine.

It might be something to do with Firefox, if you have any extensions installed. There is a way of fixing it, if you start Firefox in its safe mode.

...

Can't remember what the way of fixing it is, though. It's probably in the help somewhere.

Clear cache and cookies, and then make sure none of the google filters are active.

Tis the same with Opera and IE6.

Nope, didn't help.

No idea then.

You misunderstand.

It's not your browser, or your hardware, or your connection.

It's you.

Try searching for "Google help"

Google sucks all the time :p

Booted to Ubuntu. Firefox's "I'm Feeling Lucky" works. Image search still does not.

Try this website. It is better than google! www.dogpile.com

Compy 2 (Mac OS 9):No connectivity, at all.
Compy 3 (Windows XP):Same as this PC.

I'm gonna see if unplugging both my routers works.

That seems to have worked.

The I'm Feeling Lucky thing works okay for me...I look up failure, and up pops George Bush!:D
No, it sucks, Wikipedia or the library for me, thank you...

Kinda off topic, but at my school google images was censored so we couldn't use it. So where the search engines other than google. Anyone know why?

My high school had the worst filters in history. We found out that we could get around them by the simple expediant of searching in languages that weren't english and the filters never picked up on it.

Yeah, one of my HS had problems with gay porn appearing everywhere. Apparently back in 2002, gay porn was too good for Prussian Blue.

In grade one, you only had to restaart the computer holding ctrl.

I've got quite a problem with google too...everytime I click on a search result, I get re-routed to another site...usually another search engine, but once in a while something a little... eww.
