    Google Search Problem

    Anybody else getting this screen? I've been seeing this all day and it is annoying. Clearing cookies didn't help.

          Looks like it is a proxy server issue. We use proxies at work but here at home I ran several searches with no problems. I'd be surprised if there were a bot running at work - the network guys keep a very tight lid on that sort of traffic on the network.

              Mine's not quite as bad, but still annoying. For some reason, when I pull up Google at my house, I get the German language page. I'm from Alabama, and we don't speak no German 'round here.

              From what I understand with my problem, they think my public IP address is German, and they route me to that page. Other's are having similar problems.

                  Are you sure it isn't just some wrong browser setting? Try another browser and see if it has the same problem.

                      Then you ain't from Rocket City, because you can get into a German conversation there. And eat some really good German food.

                          Not the browser. I've checked with two XP machines, a Mac and two Vista machines. Firefox, Safari and IE all have the same behavior. It is a documented issue (Googled it).

                          To the other poster (can't remember the name..sorry), we're about 3.5 hours south of Huntsville. No Germans here, but it seems like half the population here speaks Spanish. They were even teaching it to my boys in preschool.
