Re:Google’s “million’s of search results” are not being served by okasaki on Monday October 03, 2022 @02:00PM (#33071252)
I don't think that's obvious at all. This first came up a while ago here I think. Even after having the time to think about it, it's still not obvious.

The search page for coffee says "Page 1 of about 3,600,000,000 results"

How are we to know that we can't load page 360,000,000? Maybe it's obvious if you're familiar with search engine internals/algorithms, which the vast majority of people won't be.
