Yes. : https://www.cnet.com/news/google-goes-down-for-5-minutes-int...

"Google suffered an outage late on Friday night, though you might not have noticed -- it only went down for five minutes. During that brief window, Internet traffic around the world dropped by a massive 40 per cent, according to Web analytics firm GoSquared, Sky News Online reports. "

Bing also: https://www.pcworld.com/article/183770/bings_30_minute_outag...

"Microsoft's Bing search engine was offline for about 30 minutes on Thursday evening."

Qwant also: https://blog.qwant.com/qwants-unprecedented-service-failure-...

"Qwant’s infrastructure broke down around 12.00 UTC, and the service could only be restablished hours later, around midnight"

also a case in 2009 when google flagged all search results as malware for 55 minutes: https://techcrunch.com/2009/01/31/google-flags-whole-interne...
