Google: A broken Link and its reporting
Last day while 'crawling' the net I somehow got myself to BlogSearch of Google. For some reason or other I clicked on the Google Home (this is the wrong URL put by Google)
This is actually a wrong URL which will simply take you to the Page Not Found (404 Error) Page served on Google servers.This is a screen shot of the error page.

So what exactly is the URL that was supposed to be there.. Here is the answer, the URL was either http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en or the url could have been this (this URL take you to the previous one itself) http://www.google.com/search?hl=en So I send an email to Google telling them about this problem, what did you guess I got in reply.. OK they said I was not allowed to report errors (or anything) directly to them but must use another page and provided a link. I went ther and after taking the link to report "OTHER" problems what I found was the address (email) . Thats fine as long as they don't want to clear it, and I am not desperate enough to tell them more than once.
I thought Google earlier had some web forms to report their site problems.. May be they have removed it due to spam.. But I still send them a mail coz ... I don't know I just like them

Google is getting pretty arrogant, but I just can't live without them.

I think they removed the form because they were receiving lot of spams. But you did nice work.
