Google’s SMS search is simply not returning results anymore. I am not sure how many people this is impacting, i.e. I have no idea how many people use Google SMS to search on their phones, but some have noticed it.
For example, here is me sending a text to 466453 and Google returning no results for either “Lakers” or “RustyBrick.”
A Google Mobile Help thread has confirmation from a Google representative, Bret, that there is an issue. Bret from the Google Mobile team said:
The issue was first reported last night.
Forum discussion at Google Mobile Help.
Update: It was still not working at 6:30am (EST) on 1/9, but at about 10:30am (EST), it started working again.
