On: Break Google

[raldi]

I'm not seeing it. Can you post a screenshot?

Looking at those screenshots, I see that you all tried:

${

However, I tried the literal

'${'

Which also breaks it. In fact, it looks like anything that has ${ in it will break it, anywhere at all in the search string.

Also, if you close the parentheses, e.g. ${}, it fixes it. This works with any number of leading ${, e.g. ${${${${${}

you are leaking your gmail address with that screenshot.

not sure if that was intended or not.

Hmm, anybody have an idea as to why mine's different?

You loaded the page directly. It only seems to happen if autosearch was involved.

Loading http://www.google.com/search?q=${ does what you see, but entering ${ in to the search box and pressing enter does what everyone else sees.

edit: compare your clean human generated address bar to the other screenshot's messy software generated one.

It's still broken, even if it looks different

Ahh, makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

It looks that way when you search using Chromes omnibox. Go to google.com then try.

Maybe it's a specific theme? The old default theme?
