I tried it out and it doesn't seem to support unicode well. I searched for "学校" (Japanese: gakkou, school) in Japan and the results page was headed with "%E5%AD%A6%E6%A0%A1". Additionally, the actual results weren't great; it found a 2014 movie and a handful of Amazon/Youtube searches that aren't accurate. Some of the Youtube search results weren't even Japanese, but Chinese. Just in case I'd weirdly picked a bad wor…

Hello there,

Yes, I'm aware of the bug. We don't support Japanese characters still. Sorry, I'll fix it as soon as I can.

Meanwhile, please give the tool a second chance by searching in English if you can.

Thanks for the feedback!

Very interesting and nicely done. I could see lots of uses for this. One possible glitch. I searched for “.net” (as in the programming framework) and got no google searches. Maybe am escaping issue there too?

I opened the page and tried to register but got "Too many requests" message. Any reason for that? Edit: Also, the website field doesn't accept at least some ccTLD's.

Re website field: I'm just using an HTML5 input with HTML validation (type="URL" kind of thing).

I'll fix these ASAP. Thanks for the comment!

Updating re: "Too many requests" - it was, indeed, the strict throttling. It's now ok.

Maybe remove the Japan option until you do support Japanese? It just seems to be an invitation to make yourself look bad. :/
