Google Error - 403 Forbidden

This is unfortunate to write after posting about the Google’s next step in search?.

For past few days (that’s when I had started) using Blog search with keywords “1993-97″ or “1993-1997″ or any numbers with hyphen in them - after clicking the search button twice - I get the following error and for atleast another half hour I am unable to use the blog search at all. This error is not new and had been there for more than a year - technically I know why they do that - but as a user I will be worried seeing virus checker and etc., messages.

So for those who get this below error, don’t panic - google throws this error to avoid spam queries and it just happened that your query matched that kind of pattern.
