It's working for me, but there are no web site results (just images, videos and nonsensical Bard responses) so I think it's working as designed. I think the problem is you're expecting Google to return useful results, which is clearly not Alphabet's objective.
[One example of the content on Google search... I searched for "dingo" and one of the responses was "When did dingoes go extinct?" with a paragraph about how dingoes went extinct in Australia 2000 years ago. What color is the sky in your world, Bard?]

Logging out makes it work normally for me.
Logging back in breaks it.
There seem to be different kinds of breakage depending on the search. For example if I search for "square roots" it give the top section that suggests other searches, and then a more results thingy at the bottom of the page, which doesn't actually load more results. The count at the top of results appears to be correct though telling me there are 446 million results for my search.
If I search for "battery packs" it looks like all I get are the kind of things that normally go in that strip near the top where it gives shopping suggestions. Instead of just being one row like normal it is row after row of them.
