Resolved

For a permanent solution to this issue, our engineering team have engaged development team and Google. Our testing confirms captcha is only being presented intermittently. Whilst some customers are still getting CAPTCHAs at this time we expect the number to decrease over the next few hours. We will continue to monitor the service closely.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. This will be the final update for this incident.

Update

Investigating - Some customers in our EMEA and APJ regions continue to experience CAPTCHA pages while using the Google search website. Our engineering team is investigating this issue and working with Google to isolate the cause.

We will make a further posting at 17:00 UTC or when more information becomes available.
