Results 1 - 10 of about 7 Results 1 - 10 of about 9.. In the above two searches using the site: operator, I have seen the Google is only counting the urls in the main index and not considering the supplemental results as a count. 9 out of the 10 results are not supplemental so counted, while the 10th one is supplemental. So its giving as Results 1 - 10 of about 9. In another search using the site operator, Results 1 - 3 of about 3 and then clicking on Omitted results, the results show as Results 1 - 10 of about 2290. Anyone else observed this?
i did checked my blogs yesterday and saw it, it showed only 1-3 when it was showing 1-145 before !! may be change in google date !!
Yes, it's been going on for over a week now: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=282470 <offtopic alert> ugyen, I gotta ask...

I believe Google is trying to make it easy to find out the number of results of site: search in the main index for smaller sites, but results like the results 1-3 of about 3 and then you click on the omitted results you get the results as 1-10 of about 2290, suggests that Google is working on a similar idea on the larger sites as well. I do not have evidence to support this, and the idea is completely theoritical. What I have also seen is the time taken to show the total number of results is very less. I have also observed that the 2nd level pages of a site are shown on top of the third level pages even if third level pages have the new cache date. There is this one site of mine for which the third level page which do not have a supplemental tag, shows below the 2nd level page after clicking on the omitted results but does not show in the initial site: search.
