Search for that. Server error.

Weird.

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

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