It might be harder than it seems, Google is incredibly AIcist. I hit their threshold manually sometimes (it's like a dozen or so queries per minute) :D

  Those "we have detected unusual traffic" messages after unusually heavy (hey, we're not all average in our usage patterns) but very human usage are kinda evil. I wasted so much time wiping the machine and reinstalling the OS etc after getting paranoid that I had some undetectable kind of malware before I caught on.

    It usually means you're behind carrier grade nat or some other shared IP and someone else is running a bot.

      I wasn't behind CGNAT. Had a dedicated public ipv4 ip. I was just using google a lot, sometimes.

        Google does bot detection on a /24 basis. So you were still sharing with 253 other households most likely.

          That would be idiotic. I don't think Googlers are idiots.

            Of course they're not idiots. They're googlers, which means they have a very specific worldview and a work environment that focuses their perception of the universe into a very specific way of looking at things, where "scale" is both the cause and solution to all problems and of course attackers use whole subnets at a time and need to be shadowbanned appropriately.

      Nah, happens quite often when Google refuses to serve the results you're asking for (ignoring a keyword, using something it believes is a synonym but is actually not in this context etc.), and one therefore do many successive almost identical searches with small tweaks.

    Yeah, I have seen that as well... Usually when I try to actually find something and start tuning my query. Don't know if when you start building complex queries does it just get heavy and they have some threshold after which it doesn't make money anymore for them. So they block you...
