Does google shows only top 1000 results ?

    I just checked searching popular keywords like games, music etc on google and although it will read something like "Results 1 - 100 of about 1,100,000,000 for games ", when you move to 1000 result or page 100, it will read :

    "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 979 already displayed.
    If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.

    Searches related to: games car games free download games action games puzzle games
    sports games pc games online games arcade games "


    Suprisingly when you click the link 'repeat the search with the omitted results included', it still shows maximum of 1000 results.

    Is this a recent development or thats how google has always been. If its true for all keywords, then it means we can't really determine competition level for any keyword, right ?
