Anyone else only getting one page of results? Has Google changed their service? ---

Nope. Still getting lots of pages right from the git-go. ---

Do you have Javascript disabled? They have changed the way they display results… ---

I have found that I can click the “Get More Results” exactly twice and then I don’t get any more. It has been that way since they changed their output format. Since I use Chrome I have to assume it is not a browser incompatibility. ---

I still get multiple pages of results without being signed in to Google. But I noticed recently they added the feature to search for images based on an existing image. Now you can just drop an image you already have into the search box, and it will use recognition software to find other images that are similar. It makes me want to go dig up some of those old “can anyone identify what is in this photo?” threads. Coinciding with that change to the Google image page, I have also seen this complaint come up several different places on the SDMB. They may be related. ---

It makes me want to go dig up some of those old “can anyone identify what is in this photo?” threads. Um…you can? I’m signed in and I tried dropping three different completely unrelated images into the search box, and all it does it show me the image (the url bar says mycomputer/folder/imagename as well). There aren’t any search options.
