Error: Cannot find server or DNS error"

I get this message whenever I google search "danbooru + (insert tag) on my phone, but, I can reach the homepage and search from there without a problem.

This problem does not occur on my computer.

Does anyone else experience this?

So you are trying to put, for example [ "danbooru + touhou ] into your addressbar on your phone?

My first gut-feeling guess would be is that your mobile browser is trying to parse that search of yours as a URL for some reason and is therefore saying "I have no idea what to do with this" and throwing that error.

Some more would be really appreciated:

  • Which OS is your phone running? (iOS, Android, ...)
  • Which browser are you using?
  • What is the exact search string you are using?
  • Where are you entering this string? (the big addressbar in your browser, a special other search bar, the searchbar on the Google homepage, ...)

BUt considering that your phone is the only thing having this problem, my guess would be that the problem is on your side.

Also, I just tried entering "danbooru + touhou" into my Android, it redirects to a Google search without anything special happening.

Thanks for the help! Actually, I use google search danbooru + (whatever tag), then I click on one of the results. It always gives me that error message unless I go to danbooru's homepage for some reason.

Also my OS is Windows, my browser is IE(I use it to look up google), and I use the google search bar to type up danbooru + a random tag.

Thank you so much for reading!
