Google Search tip - Get pages of results on 1 page

I find Google annoying, due to the fact they only put 10 natural listings on the 1st page. If you look at pages all the way to 6 or 7 you can still find relevant results, in fact many are more relevant than some higher results. I've always thought it would be a good idea to choose how many results you want to show before clicking search. eg. 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 200.

However, just this week I was messing about and discovered you can actually do this if you click advanced search. Then you get a long scrollable list of results all on one page rather than multiple, and I find it so much better than their standard format. So just thought I' mention this in case others would prefer to search this way.

    If you have only just found that then google little known search parameters and tricks. There are tons of options.

    Date search, keywords AND , OR, NOT searches to add or eliminate results.

    I use the image search a LOT. Their find a picture from a picture though is very poor at present.

    It is however annoying if you search for an unusual term, and the search engine decides you have mis-spelled something and offers you results for what it thinks you want - inverted commas round the word usually works, but not always.

    Disable 'Google Instant predictions' and change 'Results per page' to 100
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
