Google has confirmed a bug that prevents some searchers from using Google search.
First reported in a Google Web Search Help thread just about two weeks ago, some users are unable to get any search results at Google.
The first report said:

Googler, Hach, confirmed the bug a day later, saying:
The issue is, many are still reporting that they cannot search using Google and Firefox. Technically, I am not sure what the issue is but maybe it isn’t really fixed?
