Google search result inaccurate #3

The first check, for searching wether your email appears in google search results, doesn't actually function as intended. It will respond as " ╚══[x] Unfortunately" "appears on google.com search-results. " despite when manually searched not yielding any results.

The way google_search() works, is by googling for the email and if it appears in the results the it reports back to the user. Of course I don't know how google-search engine works in its core so it is indeed possible my implementation to produce false positives in some cases, but so far I haven't managed to reproduce your issue. Need more details...
