Hi

Anybody getting blank results pages when doing a google search, change to Bing and it searches, tried this on Microsoft Edge, and Chrome. This is on multiple machines and even on a fresh windows 10 install.
 
This has been happening for me too. Usually I copy my search request, paste it again in the address bar and press Enter. Results are normally returned second time.
 
I get this too. Windows 10 using Chrome or even IE Edge. Searching again or reloading does not work. According to them, there is some corrupt history file. This is BS. I tried their recommendations to rename it, uninstall my browsers, etc. Nothing works.

Google's search engine is borked.
 
mine been doing it, cleared the cache , and problem gone

Tried clearing my Cache numerous times, uninstalling and reinstalling all browsers, deleting History files and restarting browser, nothing seems to be working. Some searches work, other keep giving blank pages.

How did you uninstall Microsoft Edge?
 
I have had the same recently on various machines (Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1 Windows 10 RTM and also Windows 10.10565) I suspect theres a bug with chrome
 
How did you uninstall Microsoft Edge?

Sorry, should have been more clear. Have not uninstalled Edge. Only Chrome, IE 10 and 11 (which I installed after I started experiencing the Google search results problems.)

This problem is not limited to any specific browser. I saw on Google support forums that other users with other browsers experienced the same errors with blank pages.

There is a problem with Google's search engine code. Don't think they know it yet.
 
Turning off "Google Instant predictions" under settings solved it for me. I selected the "Never show instant results." option.
 
Sorry not in front of computer now. Where about did you guys turn off the "Google Instant predictions" settings.
Thanks

Okay at PC and found the setting:)
