Google Search appears to be testing dropping the power to see 100 search outcomes on a single web page. Whenever you add the outcomes parameter to the top of your search outcomes URL string, i.e. &num=100, it really works about half the time.
This was noticed by SEOwner on X and I can replicate it, as can many others. The factor is, generally it occurs and generally it doesn’t. Which leads me to imagine it’s a check.
Some see it signed into Google, some see it signed out, some each. The 100 outcomes parameter works for me signed out however not signed in.
I made a facet by facet video to indicate one browser window displaying the 100 outcomes parameter not working, on the left, and on the fitting, it really works:
This can be impacting some rank monitoring instruments as effectively, so hold that in thoughts.
Rank tracker utilizing Puppeteer broke too. Very odd, random captchas between browsers (one browser will get a captcha, one other one identical IP no captcha), assuming some new anti-bot detections as effectively.
