Google Search, the world’s most popular search engine, had a very interesting problem last night. Many users reported that when they search on Google, the blue links that they normally encounter do not appear.
In the Downdetector data, it was seen that there were nearly 20,000 complaints regarding this situation. On the other hand, users also shared what happened on Twitter. The problem with Google Search was resolved shortly after. The company also received a statement on the subject.
The problem in Google Search was only experienced by users in the USA and was quickly resolved
In a statement to The Verge, Google confirmed that there was a problem with searches for a short time, but stated that the problem only occurred in the Americas. Spokesperson Lara Levin said: “There was a brief issue limited to the Americas region, affecting some search results. This issue was quickly resolved,” he said. In a screenshot taken by The Verge, which you can access from above, it can be seen what kind of problem is experienced.
Although the problem was for a very short time, it upset many people and caused thousands of complaints. This is an important indicator of how dependent people are on Google for surfing the Internet, and what can happen in the event of a long-term problem.
