  Hi,
  
  Has anyone experienced an error in the search results in Google? I used to have no problem with it until recently, when I tried to "jump" the results page, I get the error as seen below.

  I think it happens when I restrict the search, and it happens from page 12 onwards.
  
  For e.g. when i tried to seach for "gifts" in www.sgforums.com

  I think at one point, sgforums was "undesirable" to Google. This was because sgforums contravene some of their fair use rules regarding site promotion. This might be a reason for your problem rather than a problem with Google.

  Hmmm, it could be that reason. Cos I didn't get this problem when I tried searching in some other sites. Pity that the search function in sgforums don't seem very useful either, unlike some other forums where you have more advanced options.

  I think even when it was by google, it wasn't very helpful. It seems to return results only if the keyword is in the title, or a threadstarter's posts (if it coincides with anyone's nick)?

  I believe google does this by blocking your IP address. You could go to the Command Prompt and type these two comands several times:
  
  ipconfig/release
  ipconfig/renew

  Try some other search engine instead of google.
