That's exactly how it works. The website is just a counter of how many people landed on the page searching for "is $X down"

I don't know but I really doubt that.
When you search for a service you get the current status and you get the option to report a problem.
The minimal you expect from such a service is to keep track of how many % of users are searching also reports an error. There might of course still be errors but that alone surely can't be it. But please correct me if I'm wrong.
