Google's index isn't as vast as they claim. Their "About 5,780,000,000 results" is a gross exaggeration. You can't actually view all those results even if you tried.
- orbital-decay 6y agoMost engines are also very aggressive at de-prioritizing abandoned sites, so most of the content from 90s essentially gone dark - it's indexed but cannot be found unless you know exactly what to look for.
- passivate 6y agoEither way, it is funny that they claim to have millions of results, yet you can't go past Page 11.
- nitrogen 6y agoAt least it does go to eleven. Most amps only go to ten. I hope that if you're being serious about 11 being the max, that it was a deliberate reference.
- passivate 6y agoTouche! :)
- lupire 6y agoThat's not true. You just have to click the "with the omited results included" at the bottom of page 11, and that gives you many more pages.
- passivate 6y agoOh, I didn't mean you get 11 pages for every single query. I do know about the omitted results (but thanks for pointing it out, as its not obvious to many!), I used 11 as a placeholder since the final page # varies by query. Like, I get ~50 pages for 'icecream' out of the supposed 8 million or so. Crazy! AFAIK there is no way to view all of those millions of results that they claim to have.
