I saw something the other day as well that was unusual on google and most of the other search engines. The internet is disappearing; at least that was the claim.
If you search something political, you get 4,555,000,000 results.
But the results start repeating.
Then...... when you go ten or twenty pages into the results, suddenly the results just stop, and you get a message like "results are similar so we've excluded them." Even if you click "show me the results," you still end up hitting a wall.
So either there are not the number of results that they show you, or they're deliberately excluding results.
The only engine I tried that did not do that was yandex, a russian search engine.
