Google is only returning 10 results per page. I just noticed it today. I can’t find how to increase the number of results per page to 100, as it used to be. I’ve gone to My Account, and have tried Search personalization, More settings, and Other settings, but there’s nowhere I can see to increase the number of results. A little help? (I’m using Safari version 17.5.) ---

For a while they went with (ugh) infinite scroll. But have dropped it and the setting to up the number of hits/page went away some time before that. I searched ways to increase the number of hits and even for a computer nerd like me [they](https://bloggerjet.com/google-show-100-results/) seemed to be terrible kludges. Google, the “don’t be evil” company, is desperate to please advertisers. People like me who automatically skip way down to get to non-ad results are their bane. So they want to make our life more difficult in order (supposedly) to make more money. Right. Fun fact: image search results are still infinite scroll. ---

Well, I followed the method in the linked guide and it seems to work so far. Since I am using Brave, (still Chromium base), the places to click were slightly different but I worked it out. ---

Another update on the 100 results/page method. I noticed that for some search terms I’m only getting the old 10 hits per page. If the term is popular enough to get that slew of images, etc. in the header then the first page is limited but following pages aren’t. (E.g., searching for a well known person or a holiday.) ---

I tried searching “washington state parks”&num=100. It didn’t work. I copied the search and pasted the URL and added &num=100. It didn’t work. I removed the &num=100 from the search, copied the URL and pasted it, and added &num=100. ([https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%22washington+state+parks%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&num=100](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%22washington+state+parks%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&num=100)). It didn’t work. ---

Your link indicates that they didn’t drop it, but moved it to the last line of their Code of Conduct, as a summation.
