Google Custom search which provides websites with a much better way to allow users to search content seems to be down. I tested the same on Techie Buzz as well as several other sites with the same results.

Not sure what is wrong, but when users use the custom search box to search for content, they will see an error as seen below.

No idea how long this has been for, but this issue might get rectified before the post hits the deck.

Update: The custom search seems to be working very slow not, 6-10 times it has been hitting the error screen, which suggests that there is something wrong with it.
