Today, May 12, Google experienced a temporary outage, with thousands of users reporting issues with Google Search. We’re sorry but it appears that there has been an internal server error while processing your request.” Users said Google Search was working intermittently, with some queries loading normally while others showed a server error. Google says Gen Z users are now the most active users of AI-powered search, as younger audiences increasingly rely on tools like Gemini for everyday queries. Data shows that 89% of Gen Z users in the Philippines use Google Search every day, alongside similar figures in Indonesia and Thailand. Google said this shift is changing how people use search, from typing keywords to engaging in deeper, back-and-forth queries. Google has launched its desktop app for Windows, bringing its AI-powered search experience beyond the browser and directly into the operating system. The app integrates Google’s AI Mode into Windows, allowing users to search the web, files, and apps using natural language without opening a browser. It also expands search capabilities beyond the web, enabling users to find local files, installed apps, and cloud content from Google Drive in one place.
