Is Google playing with the search results ?

    Searched for the keyword “Online Search”. Google shows 10,050,000,000 results
    [​IMG]

    If I go to the 50th page it shows 493 results.

    [​IMG]

    Now I click on the omitted results and it shows 56 pages of data. This means that Google is giving out 560 results ( 10 results per page )

    [​IMG]

    Was just wondering how I can go beyond the 56th page and actually see the 10,120,000,000 results or is this a limitation from Google. Is Google playing with the search result? I understand if they say that giving all the results to every individual will put a strain on Google resources but is there a way to view the rest of the results.

    Generally this is normal. I have checked this many times. For some keywords it will show results in millions when we checked all the pages you will find only 40 - 50 pages. I faced this problem many times

    Maybe because you are only searching the results in the past year

    So what does this mean, the results showing in the first page are not the exact number ? Because if we manually go and find out each results, they do not show up !!!

    I've noticed that Google's math is not accurate for the number of listings for a search query. The same problems exist for the site: operator. These can no longer be relied upon as being accurate.

    For some reason, most of the time it will just stop after a certain number of pages. It's normal.

    This happens a lot with Google search results if you research a lot for your websites. While doing my research using various programs I always cross check with Google manually in order to ensure that the number of search results given is correct.

    Is there a way to get more results ? Google truncating the results is bad enough. However there must be a way to find out more.

    the big numbers just from the index of BigTable, not real number
    but the small number is the real number of indexed page from the specific server
