More importantly, I wonder how much that outage cost everyone.
I've seen many computer users simply "give up using the Internet" when Google is down, returning after a coffee break to resume.
It wouldn't surprise me if Wikipedia, at least, had a measurable traffic drop during the outage. I think they even have public MRTG logs, so someone more enterprising than me could confirm that... :-)

Some alternatives if you really need to search:

Edit: I thought duckduckgo used search results from Google but without personalisation and tracking, removed my comment as this seems to be incorrect

Duckduckgo is most definitely not google, though you can access the anonymized google interface startpage.com by using the duckduckgo s! bang (for anyone unfamiliar with ddg, the bangs are a productivity heaven). If google is down, so will be startpage.com.
Amusing that you call Duckduckgo 'Google', when DuckDuckGo doesn't use results from Google.

Google Apps seems to be working everywhere, so that can't be it:

But ... duckduckgo is a really great service!
Seems to have been some sort of europe wide hiccup then.

Hah, takes far longer than that to find somewhere in their support pages to report the 500..
Did that page detailing developer excuses include 'Google is down'?

The search results page sometimes works.
The search result links, however, seem to be 90% broken, for example this is always broken:

Edit: looks like that 5 minutes of fun is now over, and all is back to normal.
I'd love to know how much that little outage cost Google.
