For a few minutes today, Google Search was broken and at the time of writing this, it still is. Sure you can still search but something isn’t quite right…every site seems to have a notification that it may harm your computer.

It was horrible! I was on a photo search job. I couldn’t do anything for 30 minutes. I switched to Yahoo!(last time I used Yahoo was in 2001) Searching pictures via Yahoo was terrible. I hope it wont happen again.
And it happened again today… almost a year later.
It was huge dude.. omg.
