Emoji Results Error in Google Search

As much as we rely on Google Search for our daily queries, the search engine is failing badly in looking for certain terms! As pointed out by many, searching for queries like โ€œhow many emojis on iOSโ€ or โ€œHow many emojis on Appleโ€ (no quotes) returns a server error after a long time out.

This issue was originally thought to be limited to a specific country domain, like the Google.co.nz โ€“ as reported by YCombinator Hacker News user wfme. But it was later discovered to be affecting all the domains, including the major one โ€“ Google.com โ€“ after we checked.

Well, itโ€™s not just the emoji search on iOS impacting the Google Search, but a range of other similar phrases too, as compiled by llui85;

  1. โ€œhow many emojis on iosโ€
  2. โ€œhow many emojis on appleโ€
  3. โ€œhow many emojis on windowsโ€
  4. โ€œhow many emojis on lumiaโ€
  5. โ€œhow many emojis lumiaโ€
  6. โ€œhow many ios emojiโ€ โ€“ working (albeit slowly)
  7. โ€œhow many emojis in iosโ€
  8. โ€œhow many emojis inside iosโ€

If you want to try, search for them without quotes or punctuation. Also, keep in mind that it may result in other unknown issues apart from search errors.
