google search links go to blank google page

I'm on the iPad and do a google search using Safari. Google gives me lots of search results, but no matter which result I click on, the link takes me to a new, empty google search... shouldn't it take me to the page I clicked on? The only way to get to a search result is to manually type the results into the address bar or to copy and paste into the address bar

Not sure if this is a Safari issue, a Google issue or an iPad issue.

Thanks for any help
