Started in 1998, Google search is the most used web search engine in the world. While Google makes hundreds of changes to its search algorithm each year, it has not made any major overall to its simple yet functional user interface.
With default settings, when you search for something using Google search, it shows a total number of 10 results (excluding advertisements) per page irrespective of the web browser and operating system you’re using. Though more often than not users find the information they are looking for by clicking one of the results appeared in the first 10 results, at times we need to move on to the second or third page to get the required information.
Users who feel that the default 10 results per page is not sufficient to get the required information and love the idea of getting more than 10 results per page can configure Google to show up to 100 results per page.
Here is how you can configure Google search to show up to 100 results per page to see more results while searching the web using Google.
