I tried it again and got this error this time

Forbidden
Your client does not have permission to get URL /interstitial?url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110357/ from this server.

then I tried again and it went back to the original warning.

I think they've about got it fixed now, as if you repeatedly click search for the same keyword, it is progressively displaying normal results.

Darn, it would be cool, if someone did take google down for a day, someone would be the man until he went to jail. LOL. I think it was just a bug though.

From Google's official blog (link provided in JustDarkness's post above)...

quote:

...We work with a non-profit called StopBadware.org to get our list of URLs. StopBadware carefully researches each consumer complaint to decide fairly whether that URL belongs on the list. Since each case needs to be individually researched, this list is maintained by humans, not algorithms.

We periodically receive updates to that list and received one such update to release on the site this morning. Unfortunately (and here's the human error), the URL of '/' was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and '/' expands to all URLs...
