Google has ingrained itself into our lives and is frequently used by consumers to find crucial information. But what happens if Google Search is unavailable? Many customers experienced the problem today as Google stopped functioning across the globe. Many users today claimed that the Google Search engine was down, according to Down Detector, a well-known website that monitors service status. 

Users who attempted to search for something reported seeing a 502 error. "502. That is incorrect. The brief issue prevented the server from completing your request. Give it another go in 30 seconds. As far as we are aware, "read the error message. A different error message was also reported by some users. "We regret the inconvenience, but it looks that there was a server-related error when processing your request. Our engineers have been informed of the problem and are attempting to fix it. Try once more later, please." People have joked about where to look for information while discussing the outage on social media sites like Twitter

The cause of the outage is unknown at this time. A "huge explosion" has reportedly been detected at a Google Data Center in Iowa, according to a report by SFGATE. Three personnel at the centre were hurt in the explosion, which may also be to blame for the global outage. In a statement to SFGATE, a Google representative said: "We are aware of an electrical incident that occurred today at Google's data centre in Council Bluffs, Iowa, hurting three individuals on site who are now being treated."
