What were you expecting?
- bhupy 6y agoSomething more similar to the Google or Bing search results for "VK"?
- theandrewbailey 6y agoChange region to Russia. There are lots of results.
- monkpit 6y agoThere’s never been an article or post or anything written about VK ever?
- mgkimsal 6y agoperhaps other pages that link to VK or are about VK in some way?

- graham_paul 6y agoit should show the website as well. Compare the results against Google's: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk014TPUTX_G1C5HLUIyTG1Y1FQ-OZA%3A1598371258093&source=hp&ei=ujVFX4rmAdG8kwWajYWYDg&q=vk&oq=vk&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQA1C5AVjBAmDoA2gAcAB4AIABAIgBAJIBAJgBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXo&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwiKq7f43LbrAhVR3qQKHZpGAeMQ4dUDCAg&uact=5 https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk014TPUTX_G1C5HLUIyT...
- tsukikage 6y agoCompare doing the same search in Google. Even a link to vk.com would seem like a relevant thing to include if nothing else?
- ISL 6y agoGoogle returns: "About 782,000,000 results (0.45 seconds) "
- PCChris 6y agoIf you actually click through Google's result pages, you will find that there are actually only about 87 results. Even if you "repeat the search with the omitted results included" Google returns only about 226 results. Google's estimated result count is routinely off by so much as to make it virtually useless.
- Scarblac 6y agoIn Dutch, "VK" is the abbreviated form of United Kingdom. There should be far more results than that.

- pheug 6y agoGoogle like all other web search engines never scan their whole index when searching, it's way too expensive. All sorts of tricks are used to aggressively prune matching results at every opportunity during retrieval until maybe a few hundred best scoring docs are left and that's what you're paging through. But yeah, estimated result count is still a big lie either way
- xVedun 6y agoI found that going to the last page showed a more realistic number for results. This would only be shown on that "last page" of results though. However, it does seem strange that there are only 447 results for a google search of "apple"[0] down from a whopping 4,070,000,000 results shown before that page. And that is with show omitted results. Seems like max result limiting for the 0.1% of users that want to look past page 10 of search results [0] https://www.google.com/search?q=apple&start=440&sa=N&filter=0&ved=2ahUKEwj3nObt3rbrAhWrc98KHXtxA684rgMQ8tMDegQIDBA_&biw=1792&bih=937 https://www.google.com/search?q=apple&start=440&sa=N&filter=...
- ffpip 6y agoIt is a popular site. Atleast vk.com?
- newacct583 6y agoOr the wikipedia page for the site? As others are pointing out, this is actually a popular site not just for russian content. Owing to the jurisdiction, it's actually a popular place for hosting various ripped/pirated PDFs.
- saagarjha 6y agohttps://www.google.com/search?q=vk https://www.google.com/search?q=vk
- mumblerino 6y agoAre you a bot? What a mindbogglingly-stupid question. Surely “vk” appears on more than 1 page on the web, so… show those pages? Like, y’know, a search engine. This feels worse than trying to explain a joke.
