I was searching products tonight in Google Base and I noticed that none of the links actually work.

For example: Search for ipod
http://base.google.com/base/s2?a_n0=products&a_y0=9&hl=en&gl=US#ajax%3Fa_n0%3Dproducts%26a_y0%3D9%26start%3D0%26q%3Dipod%26scoring%3D%26%26a_n1%3Dproduct%2Btype%26a_y1%3D1%26a_o1%3D5%26a_n2%3Dprice%26a_y2%3D8%26a_o2%3D5%26a_n3%3Dbrand%26a_y3%3D1%26a_o3%3D5%26a_n4%3Dcondition%26a_y4%3D1%26a_o4%3D5%26a_n5%3Dtax%2Bregion%26a_y5%3D1%26a_o5%3D5%26a_n6%3Dpickup%26a_y6%3D4%26a_o6%3D5%26a_n7%3Ddepartment%26a_y7%3D1%26a_o7%3D5%26a_n8%3Dprice%2Btype%26a_y8%3D1%26a_o8%3D5%26%26%26%26hl%3Den%26gl%3DUS%26view%3DList

Now click on the first result. For me this should go to TigerDirect.com but instead I get a Google Error page that says the following:

<<
Oops...
  
We didn't understand that.

You have tried to access a non-existent page.
>>

So I figure eh, maybe there was an issue with that link. So I clicked on a bunch of other ones and they all seem to give the exact error above.

Before people start saying 'big deal, no one uses base anyways', just remember that certain Google search queries generate a Google Base one box that users do interact with. Like this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=car+for+sale

There is no mention of maintenance planned for tonight after glancing at the Google Base blog. But then again that blog hasn't been updated since January. :(

Perhaps there is no know there is a Google Product named Google Base.

Here's a screenshot of the error:

It should be fixed now.

It works for you Ionut? I'm still getting errors here.

I've e been getting this problem for a week now ?? any fix ??

I've talked with some Googler's about this issue and at the moment they can't reproduce the errors. So I think it might be an issue with whatever data center I'm connecting to by default when I go to base.google.com . I've tried multiple machines on totally different ISPs and get the same errors here.

When you mentioned about the errors, the redirects didn't work for me. Now everything works fine.

Ionut, When I informed a past coworker about the issues I was having, they stated that everything seemed to work fine for them when accessing the site in California. I've cleared my cache and have tried accessing these links from multiple machines and I always get the OOPS error shown above.

Joe Z, try to see if your still getting the errors on Google Base. They seemed to be fixed for me now. :)

It's been over a week and a half now and this problem still exists ?? – I'm in Florida – Looks like Google tech geeks are slacking – Been using with no problems for quite a while and now this ?? All other web sites work fine!!

joe z, If you ping base.google.com , what IP address does it route to?
