Search for that. Server error.

Weird.

High traffic brand site.

Cool find

"compare the" is also broken (with or without quotes).

If you add any term, other than "market" or you add a term after "market" it all works

They must be working on some comparison algo this is triggering, but for some reason it's breaking it

Noticed this last night - very strange. I've been getting the server error message searching on just "compare" also. Can't remember seeing Google reporting this for a search term before -

Server Error
We're 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.

Weirdly, it's fixed for me now for [compare the] but still broken for [compare the market] or ["compare the"]
