Google Search is currently suffering a partial outage that prevents the search engine from returning search results for some people.
According to DownDetector, the outage started at approximately 8:50 PM ET with thousands of people already reporting issues.

If affected by the outage, when attempting to perform searches in Google, the search results page will show the various search cards, such as People also ask, related Tweets, Videos, and Related searches.
However, the site will not display any search results, instead showing a ‘More results’ button that does nothing when clicked.

It’s unclear why some people are affected and others are not. However, in BleepingComputer’s tests we were able to get search results to appear after logging out of Google.
BleepingComputer has reached out to Google with questions about the outage, but a response was not immediately available.
This is a developing story.
