Been getting this sporadically for many months, their message suggests my activity is showing odd behaviour so prove you're human.

 

Bloody annoying, as it usually takes three or four iterations of select the squares that match whatever before the search result is presented.

 

I'm not doing anything odd, I'm just trying to complete a search based on search terms that should be of no concern and break no laws.

 

Half the time it is immediately upon opening browser and doing a search. There has been no prior browser activity. I have TB checking for gmail every few minutes, if that's what they call odd behaviour, well ??!!!?!

 

When this happens, I usually blurt out something unprintable and go and use DuckDuckGo.

Exhibit A:

 

 

I did several searches in a short period of time.

 

Perhaps Google have run out of spare servers to handle search queries!

I haven't seen that in Google Search, but I've had something similar from YouTube (Premium) when I was - shock horror - trying to watch a video while downloading another.

Not on Spark, but these would appear for me if performing a few searches in rapid succession.

Maybe they were thinking I was searching too fast and flagged me I might try DuckDuckGo for a couple days, might try turning modem off on again and see if changes ip first
