I'm new here and noticed that too. It seems like it happens when your search contains a word that has 3 characters or less, like S14. Try only searching for words with 4 or more characters.

Yup. Try something more specific. Something thats very general would have like a million results.

I think "bn" screws it up since it's less than 3 characters.

...user error comes up when I try...you getting the same error message?

[KravingAKouki]

I found out that if you are too general like "s14" or too specific it gives a white screen. Too general seems to "freeze" so to speak since there are too many results. Too specific seems to not work also, i have no clue why. I try to generalize it as much as possible, and it usually works. Google works better sometimes though
