  • Bonejob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Seems to be working for me.
  • GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Anything ending in "view:" will return the error. Try "snapekillsdumbledore-rosebud-4-8-15-16-23-42-view:" and it will return an error.

    And, bonejob -- type this into your google bar - { view: digg.com }
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Buried for Inaccurate.
  • c5mjohn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It also errors out when you type "preview:" and "view:"

    ***** if I know what it means.
  • vdxc, on 09/29/2008, -0/+3Most probably due to more implementation of Google Movie Reviews into the search. Google Reviews was released a while ago although Google decided not to publicise the fact that it was available. If you type film:moulin rouge for example, you will see Google Movie Reviews.

  • tsupersonic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It's working for me, about 5AM EST here.
  • dotspace, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Why is this at the top of Digg?

    Please bury this now irrelevant and inaccurate tidbit!

    An error that happens with only one specific search query indicates that they were working on a feature. He probably just typed, "review: Hot Fuzz" and got the error, and posted it as speculation about a new feature. It's since been fixed.

    /undigg.
  • Spr0k3t, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3OMG! I recreated this 502 error on my own server? I guess that means I need to implement something new on there.
  • EvilGnomeAndy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, they also have a pretty good service review search integrated into google maps' business search.
  • buuch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i must say... *****? or do i have the wrong syntax? i have tried any of the suggestions. "review: something"?
  • jggr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Works fine here... And I'd like to know, who the hell figures these things out? This obviously was an intermittent issue, which has now cleared. So, what did this dude just sit there figure this out and write a blog about it?

    This is the first time in my life I will tell another geek to get a life, but this time you've all gone to far. Get a life. :P
