I'm not a search expert but is the index halted, or is there an issue with serving the results? so there are results in the database but for some reason the query that it sent times out or something and nothing comes back.

How are we supposed to know, being outside of Google?

By being aware of some leaked information that's not already on TFA, that we heard/read elsewhere, DUH!

Besides, several people on HN are inside of FAANG companies like Google - and they often share internal stuff and gossip.

Maybe if someone recently spotted their crawler somewhere.

yea fair point, the person who posted the tweet says the indexing stopped, I'm just highlighting there's probably another reason why that's case.
