Sorry to hear your legitimate users are impacted by captchas when trying to
use Google web search.  This can happen when you have significant amounts
of abuse coming from your network.  If switching to IPv4 means having more
users share IPs, it could make the problem worse.  Instead, let's try to
quickly address the IPv6 issue.

Please send me your IP allocation policy (off-list is fine).  For example
(guessing from the list at
http://bgp.he.net/search?search%5Bsearch%5D=netassist&commit=Search):

 - 2a01:d0::/32 is allocated by /48
 - 2a01:d0:8000::/33 is allocated by /56
 - 2001:67c:1874::/48 is allocated by /64
 - ... etc (IPv4 allocation is appreciated as well, if you also provide
customers with large ranges there)

I can then give that hint to our automated abuse systems, which will both
make it easier for us to catch your abusive customers, and also to avoid
over-blocking of your AS.

Hi,

just curious. Do you support the RIPE object called "assignment-size" automatically?

https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/lookup.html?source=ripe&key=2001%3A980%3A3000%3A%3A/36&type=inet6num for instance, indicates that each customer in this /36 is a /48. Do you pick this up automatically and hint your abuse system about this? Does it send automatically generated abuse reports to the abuse contact as well?
