Google search for allintitle:"design a web page" yields 403 error?

I just did an advanced search in Google for allintitle:"design a web page" and I was astonished to see this message popup on the next screen (with no search results):

I'm not doing any automated requests whatsoever (nor have I ever done any automated requests).

Has anybody else ever seen this before and/or are you seeing the same thing when doing the same search query?

(edit)

Okay for future reference, I did some experimenting and it looks like Google throws this error when using this search query:

allintitle:"design a web page"

...but if you insert a couple of spaces between the colon and the first double quotation mark like this:

allintitle: "design a web page"

...no error is produced (normal results page).

Hmmmm....

 

Yeah, I also get that 403 error....weird. If you add a space after ":" it works ok, try that. ( allintitle: "design a web page" )

 

yeah I figured out the space thing... Sheesh... What a relief. I'd hate to think that I couldn't do anymore allintitle searches.

pls check it

 

Uhh.. this thread was posted first. Besides we already figured it out. Maybe since on the other thread they're still groping for solutions, they should check this thread....

 

Yeah, I think they're getting touchy about the 'inurl:' operator. Thanks for the workaround. (So simply only a child could think of it. I mean, even a child.)

 

Was that meant to imply something? If so, what? I don't get it.

 

I just tried the exact same search as the threadstarter and got the same results. What's that all about?

 

Same here same found to me also
