Has your Google search results page changed?

from the self-post dept.

I am getting a much shorter list of results.

The average results page is now less than 4 to 8 links deep, and has fewer than 3 pages in total.

I'm surprised, usually google pushes about the same as your image when I need a last ditch angle.

Top on the list for my search same key words

About four scholarly articles for "demonstration of complex chaotic system"

Then more or less the same as your result, followed by a couple of wikipedia articles chaos theory and complex systems followed by a research paper [1] and 2 springer book links with another block of "related searches"

Maybe you're being A/B tested? I just did the same search in my browser and got quite a few more results that what you're seeing. Have you tried a different browser?

You must be in the control group.
