The number is not _the_ information. It's just _some_ information. When I search the web I want the content, and very very rarely care about the actual number of results. So yeah, showing a search result count they can't actually serve is dishonest and gives a false sense of reality.

No, in context of what I said (when the number is what you're looking at) the number is the information. If the content is what you care about, the number being 2 million or 5 million is meaningless because you'll never get through all the content.
