I'm looking for work and I have noticed Google would block or ask for a captcha I am not a robot if I did a site search sometimes, like if I typed 'site:acmeuniversity.edu Dr. John Smith research' or something complicated, I started getting blocked.But recently, they have started blocking simple strings of words like the name of a town and 'annual snowfall'. At times, half of my searches will be blocked. It is hard to look up background information at places I want to work. I have resorted to using Bing, but I do not like Bing.Maybe it is the country I live in. Or I am also wondering if I have some malware on my machine doing weird searches... but I've experienced this at work, too.Is Google blocking anyone else

I have noticed Google is not as good as it was once for me. But I am on the net using a cell signal and it is slow and dies very often and not a good judge as to its strength. I use Google seldom. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
