I'm with Brian also.

The main search method did not work on my Android tablet running Chrome.

Interesting

The HTML snippet looks pretty simple

Out of curiosity, could you please check whether this works: **LINK**

Brian,

I've just entered random names on this forum into my computer and mobile phone and both came up with loads of answers.

Michael, just as an external comparator, your link works for me in SW France, Win7/IE11.

Gosh, I never realised there were so many Brians on here.

Thanks, Dave

That's basically what the search box generates

I wonder why it doesn't work [*] in Android+Chrome

Works OK on my Android phone using Chrome, found posts by some bloke named Gilligan.

I've had American lawyers on the phone.

Asking "do I know someone called 'Brian' who has allegedly broken Google…"

Nice one Neil.

Michael G, yes your link worked and brought up a range of 'Brians'

I have just tried with Brian Wood successfully, how strange. I wonder if uncleared caches or something similar was causing my search to fail earlier.

[Michael GilliganParticipant @michaelgilligan61133]

Thanks for the update, Brian

… I shall sleep more peacefully.
