Gemini live search repeatedly failing on basic queries, users report
Dimensional-Misfit · reddit · 2026-09-12
A Reddit user reports Gemini's live search is severely unreliable: a simple request like finding a portable desk lamp with decent battery on Amazon gets rejected with a "system restrictions" message, and queries for breaking news or live sports scores hit the same wall. The user says live search disappears without warning every couple of prompts and suspects throttling. A comment suggests it may be tied to usage limits in Google Flow.
