Does anyone notice this or it is just me?
When your search from the search bar or voice search, the web results pop up, but actually clicking at the titles or the links won't direct you to the browser until you hit a little bit lower, at the brief description area. MORE SERIOUSLY, is that, when you filter the results by choosing more->shopping, or video, or whatever, the results are not clickable for me. No new tabs will show up.
Could anyone please try the following, type or speak "wallet", go to shopping results, tap on any one of the image item. Anything happens?
Thank you so much

worked here first time. I am currently viewing a quite attractive Oakely Square O Perf Wallet after it linking through Chrome. But, it's $50 and I am in the UK!
PS I spoke 'wallet' using Google Now
Meaning that mine is screwed. But does it have anything to do with the OTA update in US, causing some unknown search issue?
Any more people to try this out? Especially who is in US
Thank you!
Worked for me.

I seemed to find something. So have you turned on the Now service? not the voice search feature, but the privacy-controversial service.
Seems like if never enrolled in Now, your search is working fine.

It's working for me as well but it opens up 2 identical webpages in chrome.
The search opening up 2 identical webpages is really bugging me now.....

That is also what happens to me, either opening two tabs or no tab at all. Drives me crazy. I hope people join me to report this to Google. It is definitely not me alone.
I'm having a far worse issue. I cannot open search results in any way on my Nexus 7. I've seen posts like this were you open 2 tabs in Chrome. I can't open anything!! Even clicking the description of the link doesn't work.
Similar issue here...
I have noticed pretty much the same issue on my Nexus 7. Sometimes clicking just below the title of the search result works. Sometimes clicking on the actual title works. Sometimes NOTHING is clickable. Very frustrating - especially when trying to show someone how cool Google Now is!!! My Nexus 7 is totally stock too..
Hopefully they will have a fix for this soon!

Well, this problem has gone from sporadic to consistent for me. Whenever I use the Google Now Widget to search for something and results are returned, I can't click on the results at all. I called Google Support and we tried clearing the cache and data the Google Search and Chrome apps and then did a Factory Data Reset. Nothing has been able to fix this for me. It totally seems like a software bug since generally everything else seems to function alright. Given this, I'm really surprised the Factory Data Reset didn't fix it for me.
Since I bought the Nexus 7 at Staples and I'm outside of the 14 day return policy (by just 1 darn day!!!), they said that they can't even exchange it for me. So now, I have to send it into Asus to have it "repaired".
Is anyone else having this issue?
For the record, I'm never buying anything electronic or of any significant value from Staples again!

I recently stumbled across this bug as well and chalked it up to being software related too. But whereas some people seem to have sporadic results, I can NEVER click my Google Now search results. I'm quite baffled that a factory reset didn't work and was actually about to do it myself, but if there's no guarantee that it'll solve the problem then it wouldn't be worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't send it to Asus to get it repaired because the issue might simply pop up again. I'm wondering if only a small minority is experiencing this problem though or if people just don't realize it yet (as I haven't really used much of Google Now). In any case, I hope this issue gets resolved soon.
EDIT: This must definitely be a software bug because I might have found a way to possibly resolve the issue. I activated Google Now, hit the menu button on the bottom right, went to "settings" then "privacy and accounts." Here, there should be an option for "Search on google.com." Mine was initially unchecked, but I simply checked the option again. Doing this, Google Now seems to now allow me to touch/click results. I should add that when I went back and unchecked the option, the issue did not return. So, regardless of what the option is set at for you guys, I would simply check or uncheck and try it seeing if that resolves the issue. I hope this works for others!
Sorry to bump this thread up again, but did this happen to work for anyone else?

I'm experiencing the same problems (can't click on standard web search results in Google Now, but can in Chrome). The above fix doesn't work for me (I don't have that showing up in my privacy settings on my Google Account, but then again I don't even have "search plus your world" available in my apps account yet).
Here's an interesting twist though: If I perform the following search in Google Now:
xda nexus 7 google now can't click on results​
I can't click the results. However the first result will include "More results from forum.xda-developers.com". If I click that link, it's not only clickable, but the results on the next page are all clickable.
Again, I'm on a Google Apps account, fwiw.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------
One other interesting point: navigating through the Google Now results using an external keyboard (just cursoring up and down), I can select and enter any result without problems.
I think I may have figured out how to get search results clickable again...
1) Go into Settings->Privacy and accounts
2) Uncheck "Show recent searches"
3) Back out to the home screen
4) Try your search again and you should be able to click on the search results
This seems to do the trick for me. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you guys.

Fix Does not work for me
Still can't click on results.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with having a second browser (Dophin) installed.
Maybe tablet does not know which to use?
When clicking on OTHER links tablet asks whether to complete the action with Chrome or Dolphin. Obviously when pressing on a Google now result that question does not pop up and the results are not clickable.
Maybe I will uninstall Dolphin and see if that helps
Thank you for the fix

It works but I was confused by your directions. From settings, go to Accounts Google, then Search, which then takes you to Privacy & Accounts.
This was very frustrating problem. I called Google Nexus Tech Support and talk about a useless rep. I can't believe others aren't complaining about the same problem.
As the title states I have been having problems with Google now since the update to 4.1.2. I'm am running unrooted life stock Jelly Bean and the issue I am having seems to be Google now hanging up while attempting to answer a question. The questions that start with a "Who is" seems to cause it the most trouble. Once I ask the question it will ding to show it accepted the question but then it will just spin looking for an answers without ever answering the question. This issue could also likely be attributed to the October 29 voice search update Google pushed through the place store.
I never had this issue until I upgraded, so I am asking the community of experts here.
Have you encountered this issue?
If you have how did you fix it?
Than you guys for reading and sorry for the post length.

Hey, I'm having the same problem - I have also tried reverting the app back, reinstalling the update, factory wipe of the nexus 7 and wiped cache etc. No luck here I HAVE found that if you ask (by voice) something like "how tall was Napoleon Bonaparte" it works perfectly and very quickly. Also, while web search does not work 99 percent of the time (I find it does after a reboot for one go then stops working) image search through Google search works perfectly.
This only happens with Google search, not chrome.
Let me know if you find a solution.

Having search problems here also.
Basically, hasn't worked for me since day 1 after purchasing the 32GB version this past Tuesday & installing 4.1.2 JB.
Same symptoms - whether type or voice search using the search box at top of the screens: hangs on web search & other search with link tabs at bottom giving no results.
Image searches do produce results though...odd.
Changing search options to Google.com from Google.co.UK fixed it for me.

I just did it, and for some strange reason it WORKS...i've done at least 5 searches, vague ones, and it searched the web. THANKS!!!
EDIT: But NOW, it won't do the voiceback like "What is 3 times 3" it should come back with "The answer is 9" now it just does a web search...
EDIT2: Ok I rebooted device after checking and UNCHECKING the option, and it works TOTALLY now. I am a happy camper ^_^
Thanks guys for all the responses, I am glad I am not alone in this. It seems like it's getting better but the voice search is still not performing the way it used to. If I try to search for info on say Micheal Jordan, it doesnt read back his information like it used to. I don't get the card anymore either I just get the google search. I hope they find a fix for this soon.
When I go into Google now on my nex7 everything works fine except for the Google search web results. It brings up cards and has voice response but brings up no web results. I wiped everything did a reset and flashed a different ROM and still having the same problem. Everything else on my tablet works fine. I'm beggining to think it may be a Google server problem in my area. Is anyone else having this problem?

If you are referencing the Google Search bar @ the top of each screen - my web searches are just hanging with no results also.
It does bring back personalized cards like you said & if I select the [image] tab @ the bottom it will bring back images from the web...but everything else is hanging....
Same here. When I type in to the search bar, it hangs. I can search using the browser. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling - did not fix. I am not rooted.

Likely they are on a different server. This is likely them working on the updates to google search that is to come with 4.2. It takes two steps back to get one large step foreword ...

Really? I thought it's been a good roll-out for 4.1.2 JB.
Just this hickup & the usual lack of detailed usage training for end-users (which we actually embrace now as XDA-ers!)
Surprise, surprise. I'm having that issue also. Search on my N7 is giving me factual voice responses to a search like '50 milliliters in ounces', but if I say '2010 World Series' expecting to get webpage responses, I get the spinning circle. My Bionic returns webpages for these searches. I'm sure they'll get it sorted out, but kind of annoying at the moment.
Same with me. Changing from google.de to google.com did not work.
Disconnecting Wlan and connecting again and I can search once ...
I thought it was my fault
ok, well at least I know I'm not the only one. Hope they get it worked out soon.

Google services went down for 15 WHOLE minutes yesterday. That's a hiccup we don't usually see.
That's not too bad, but this issue still exists and it has been a lot longer than 15 minutes.
Same problem on phone and tablet. About 30 seconds later my search results show up.

If I click a thread it will load and then keep reloading until I hit the stop button.
I have removed all addons/plugins etc and used every thing imaginable. Reset all the cashe and cookies, everything and re installed too
It does it on my windows 7 box in Firefox, Chrome and IE.
It also does it on my mac in safari and chrome.
Is there a way to fix this? Why is it only on this subforum?
thanks and sorry for posting here, but since its specific to the Google Nexus 4 threads I figured it would be best to ask here.

On the way bottom left corner there should be a pull down menu to select styles to view the forum. Choose 2010 XDA and it shouldn't ever do it again.
It must be a bug within the new forum layout.

I can't pin it down to this being an Android 4.3 issue or an update to the app itself so i'm asking for other peoples experience here. When you receive a facebook message and the screen is off, does it wake the screen?
I should also mention it happens too on my Nexus 7 (2013)

Yeah, I also noticed it started yesterday or the day before. Android 4.3 stock firmware. Pretty sure it's apps fault, tried different ROMs and got exact the same result. Someone should report this to developers.
I have a HTC One S, same thing occurring here... it appears to be the Messenger App's fault. Since I have had the same issue across 3 different roms
Yeah, I got the same issue with parandroid and the stock 4.3.
The screen wake up when I get a message on the desktop computer. I've shot down all the notifications on the phone and the problem's gone now.
**** .
So I'm definitely not alone then! I've just reverted back to the previous version and that's fixed it for the time being. Also sent the devs a message from within the app but seeing as this nod Facebook, who knows when it will get fixed
Sent from my Nexus 4
Good to hear, it's really annoying, I hope they fix it soon. Any tip how to revert back to old version? Or maybe you have the right apk to share with me please? I don't even know which version was the working one
Facebook is always a fail app.
The new update fixed it momentarily, but it's doing it again. I'm on 4.2.2 on an S4 and it's doing it too. Kills the battery, I hate it. Turning notifications off completely only disables it as it automatically turns on after a few hours.
Anyone have the APK for the version before this crap started happening?

Version 2.53 (here) doesn't seem to wake the screen for me...
Can't believe they still haven't fixed it... Wish more of my friends used hangouts
Well, thanks for the effort, but it still didn't fix my problem. Also tried different versions, but neither of them did work. Gotta wait for official update.
Okay, so I've found a fix. After trying absolutely everything I tried greenifying the app. Obviously when it's greenified the screen doesn't wake, because you aren't receiving any notifications at all. Strangely enough though, when you de-greenify the app, then run it again. No more screen wakes!
Have no idea why it works, but it does! So I'm happy!
I take back what I've said... It works temporarily, then starts waking the screen again

I dunno if the problem is really app related or not... What i find out is that trying to login with my friend account, the screen doesn't wake up when receiving a message. I tried further and created a dummy facebook account, and same, doesn't wake up the screen.
Just my facebook account is waking up my screen.
I didn't try long enough with my friend account and my dummy account if the problem will appear sooner or later.

Okay, So I tried a fake account as well. Bam. No screen wake upon receiving notifications. So i'm going to assume it's account related... Only Facebook could pull this off...unbelievable..
unbelievable but true! it is account related. The question now is:
What do we have in common? (Developer?)
and are there any settings in Facebook which could stop this behavior.
I have the same issue and tried everthing to get rid of it without turning all the notifications off on the app. I really dont like to have my screen on every time a get a message. I could notice that this is happening on android and ios devices.
