Google search wasn't working for some time on Tuesday morning. Outage tracking website Downdetector.com confirmed the Google outage. It said more than 40,000 incidents of issues with Google Search were reported. When a search was being made, the Google servers were showing the 502 error. "502. That's an error. The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds. That's all we know," the message prompt said.
In another message, the message read, "We are sorry but it appears that there has been an internal server error while processing your request. Our engineers have been notified and are working to resolve the issue. Please try again later."
The Google Trends service was also briefly not working. Though the link was opening, the window that shows the trends was empty. The real-time trends, however, were working properly. The service was restored after a few minutes.

Scores of users in India and abroad shared on Twitter that Google isn't working properly.
