I don't particularly like "infinity scrolling", as you call it. I like it less than "infinity 'Next page' buttons" as I call them now. Why would you think it is "ridiculous" that Google not offer this? I think that's an interesting/polarizing/dramatic way of putting it. I'm curious as to why you clearly believe this to be a clearly superior/better way than what it's been for so long.
That being said, it's interesting that I actually like it for the image page. I can't explain it - maybe it's just a "Well, for 15+ years I've used search this way" thing.

However, in terms of UX, I personally feel that scrolling though an endless stream of results is much nicer than having them split up in groups of ten. I find it much nice to be uninterrupted when I'm trying to quickly scan through a ton of search results.
- ScottWhigham 14y agoRight, that's not the first "infinity scrolling" thing I've seen so it falls in with all the rest. My favorite option, I think, is to be given a drop down/combo box that asks me how many I want to see (and is populated with 3-5 options). I like having that separation. I think it's a more efficient way also. Let's say that you and I both search for a topic. The result we both want is result #33. We both find it, read it, and close the browser. The next day when we come back to the computer, we need to find it again. I think it's much easier to remember "That was at the top of the third page" than "I had to scroll maybe 5 or 6 times".
