Are you really sure your machine isn't running malware that intercepts queries?

The query [ google stock ] would never return zero results.

If this is really happening to you, please post an actual screenshot demonstrating that a standard browser in incognito (not logged in) mode on a standard OS returns no results for [ google stock ].

I'm not saying Google's core product hasn't slipped but that's one query I run every day.
