You don't see this that often... Server Error We're sorry but it appears that there has been an internal server error while processing your request. Our engineers have been notified and are working to resolve the issue. Please try again later.

The "test" query in the link actually works for me But I do get the error message for some other queries

Seems to be intermittent for me. You don't see this often!

Continued issues here. It appears to only be the Search service from my experience.

Down for me too, in the Philippines. Maybe it’s not down in the US. I found out when I was using DuckDuckGo just fine while my friend thought the internet was down, that was kind of fun.

It's down for searches that aren't cached. Searching "Test" works, but searching "asdcjjcwj2jk" doesn't, for example.
