As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I would say that wouldn't always mean a bad URL. It could mean incorrectly

rather enter host table entries instead of setting up DNS in CFGTCP.
*shudder*
FWIW: I once had a customer who's internet provider was being
'helpful' and providing the IP address of a monetized search portal
for DNS lookups that didn't resolve.
The call to gethostbyname returned an IP but the software wouldn't
establish a connection.
It took us forever to determine that there was a typo in the host name
they had configured as the remote address.
They were just about to open a priority 1 PMR with IBM when someone
decided to type the IP into a browser and figured out what was going
on.
