Without any warning to dedicated Google SMS searchers, Google has discontinued the the ability for you to send a text message to Google and get a response. Google has completely turned off the SMS search feature telling searchers to search at google.com instead.

Here is the text response from Google:

Jessica from Google responded to the complaints in the Google Web Search Help forum over the weekend saying:

Truth is, I am not sure why Google did not warn users weeks or months in advance. Did I miss the warning? Did they announce this was closing?

There are currently over 70 posts in the thread from unhappy Google SMS users.

Google SMS had plenty of issues throughout the years. But we had no indication that this was coming.
