Comments on: Google goes offline – Launches Print Campaigns to Promote Search http://www.pluggd.in/google-print-campaign-in-india-starts-with-nagpur-and-ahmedabad-297/ We Heart Startups! Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:06:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Raj Mohan http://www.pluggd.in/google-print-campaign-in-india-starts-with-nagpur-and-ahmedabad-297/comment-page-1/#comment-110401 Raj Mohan Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:45:03 +0000 http://www.pluggd.in/google-print-campaign-in-india-starts-with-nagpur-and-ahmedabad-297/#comment-110401 BTW, i have always wondered why all search results are not displayed? Eg: I tried a search for "Prince Mohan". The first page says showing 1-10 of 813000 results. By the time I am on the 200-210 result page, the total count has come down to 808000. And keeps decreasing such that when i am on the 99th page the total results have come down to: you wont beleive this :991 - 1000 of 804,000 for prince mohan - 0.49 sec. There are no more results displayed except a disclaimer: In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the ones already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included. Googles no better: it shows 761 results of 328000 to 329000 results. Whats a 1000 in Xmillion? Go figure?
