Trying to finish Custom Button Challenge, but Error preventing it

 I created itand tested-it opens Google, has the contact's name in search and opens the Google search with results, but the error reading "Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The 'Google Info' custom button does not appear to be linking to 'google.com' and passing the Contact's Name field."

Please advise on what is incorrect in the challenge - the button works as expected.

Thanks. This URL works. I think the URL on the challenge was incorrect.
