I don't think there was any definitive answer but a number of hypotheses, in particular this one seems reasonable:
The reason for this is that you can google ranges of numbers, and people a couple of years ago were using this feature to find credit card numbers that were posted online, eg searching for 4000000000000000..4999999999999999
Whether for cc numbers or something else, it's likely a defence against dubious searches: the error message indicates that the search violates Google's ToS.
According to hacker news Google (used to) interpret this as a search for a number range, but has disabled the feature partially or completely because it was used to look for credit cards or SSNs accidentially or maliciously available online, which could then be used for identity theft.

根据 黑客新闻 Google(过去)将此解释为对数字范围的搜索,但已部分或完全禁用该功能,因为该功能用于查找意外或恶意在线可用的信用卡或 SSN,然后可用于身份盗用。
