does it work now?


i searched for 'browning a-bolt' last week, and it worked. today, nothing.

a simple search for 'glock 19' and even 'bolt carrier' wont produce any results.

Well, for those of you who it still works for, enjoy it. My guess is your servers havent been updated yet.

Just found this:

Simple Google search gives results to general content (with some shopping links that don't work).

Google Shopping search comes up blank on everything I've tried.

Sorry you just found it, and that its days seem numbered.




On the other hand, it appears Bing (as much as i despise MS) still lists firearms and accessories.

So, I know you can hear me google: I have just switched my browser to point to Bing.

works for me. Are you searching for something very specific? maybe it doesn't have shopping results?

sadly, it is a policy change, not my search terms. See the writeup I linked to above.

It is working for you because you are pinging off a different server that has yet to updated.

It appears all servers are scheduled to be updated by this Fall. Hope yours is one of the last to be changed.

Mine died this morning. F Google. This is a case where the gun owners in this country need to influence them to change their mind. Time for a Google protest.

Wow. Doesnt surprise me with google though. They pretty much hate all things America it seems. Looks like Bing will be my new search engine.

Don't you think that a Browning A bolt would be a little overkill though? It is just a rat...

Hasn't changed for me... yet.

Yet another political issue that is pushing me away from Google.
