Can you break the Google Logo? Answer is YES, you can break Google Logo.

Do the following to break the Google Logo.

Search for any string in www.google.com. and append &num=100&start=990 in the URL

For example, if you search for “funny stories”, your search result URL will be

http://www.google.com/search?q=funny+stories

Modify this URL as

http://www.google.com/search?q=funny+stories&num=100&start=990

Now you will find the Google Magic.

You can also find Sorry, Google does not serve more than 1000 results for any query. (You asked for results starting from 990.)

This answered me for my question raised sometime back. Weird Behaviour of Google

The answer is that Google does not show more than 1000 results.

Thanks for seomoz.org for revealing this cool fact.

When you do Google Search, you can find “Personalized results 1-10 of about 1,950,000,000″ (look at the screenshot given above) in top right of the first page. Normally we will be interested on the first 3 or 4 results displayed in the first page. If we don’t get what we want, then we change the search string and will search again.

I found a Weird behaviour from Google that, when I kept on clicking next, next, next… it went up to 99(approximately) pages and ended. It is not necessary to click next, next, instead you can jump by 10 pages, or even you can change the URL to go to directly 99th (approx) page.

What you will notice is, for all Google Searches, it will not go more than 100 pages. But still it displays 991-1000 of 1,950,000,000 you will not see the 1001st result.

It also displays at the last page as follows “repeat the search with the omitted results included.” When you click this and repeat the search you will again get only 1000 results or 100 pages approximately. It will not display more than 1000(approximately) results.

I don’t understand this feature (???) of Google. Or is it a bug in Google? If Google is not displaying the 101st page, then why should it display 1-10 of 1,950,000,000? Does it mean that Google is giving false information? Can someone explain on this strange behaviour of Google?
