Google Search Error - "Exception from service object: Problem looking

I started getting the same message about 3 days ago. It seems to be on
Googles end and I fear that it won't be getting fixed seeing as they
deprecated the API in December. I think all we can do is wait and hope
it gets sorted out.

hi john ,

well this is not good since on their web page they have clearly
mentioned that they are not going to pull out the support for existing
developers with license keys , if they are doing so this is really an
underquality service from their parts.

google have turned into a "maximize profit" company, so this is kinda
expected:

I would say they are deliberately making the service unstable to make
people stop using it,
and rather go for their ad sponsored ajax service.

What can I say?
The yahoo service is much more stable, with up to 5000 queries..

Sorry for the delayed response on this. What you're experiencing is
indeed due to a issue on our end. We're aware of it and are working
on a fix -- we'll keep you posted ...

Seems to me that the number of queries per day are being to limited to
something very low, perhaps even just one per day. Any idea when this
might be fixed? Thanks.

I wanted to let everyone know that the issue with the SOAP Search API
has been resolved. You should see that it's now working as expected.

Apologies for the inconvenience. We really appreciate your patience
over the last couple days.
