How to show more results per page in Google - The Happy Android

Usually Google usually shows 10 results when we make a query on your web browser. A figure that would not be entirely bad, if it weren't for the fact that the first 2 links are usually ads, and several YouTube packs are included, reducing to 7 or 8 the number of organic results that are shown on the first page of Google.

This may be a more than sufficient number of results when what we are looking for is a quick and objective answer (“How old is Jordi Hurtado?”, “Where is Kathmandu?”). However, we may be a bit short when what Google is being asked has a greater number of valid approaches or answers.

Statistically speaking, there are usually not many people who look down beyond the third or fourth result, and if we think of those who go from the first page of the search engine, the number is reduced almost to absurdity. It is for these reasons that it is more than interesting increase the number of responses that Google offers us on each page: not only do we obtain more information, but it also allows us to access content that would otherwise be buried by the insurmountable page turn button.

How to increase the number of results per page in the Google search engine

There are 2 ways to get Google to include more content per page. One of them is to change the configuration settings of the tool, and another is simply to add a new parameter to our search URL.

Change Google preferences

This first method will allow us to change the Google search settings Permanently. To do this, we must click on the button "Setting”That appears just below the search bar and select“Search Settings”.

Here we will find a section called "Results per page"Where to choose how many entries the search engine returns: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 100. We choose the number that best suits our needs and click on the" button.Keep”.

Note: If we have logged in with our Google account, the page settings made will be permanent.

Add a parameter to the search URL

If all we want is for the search engine to show a greater number of results for a particular query, just add some extra text to the end of the search URL.

First we write the term in the search box, press enter, and then we go to the address bar of the browser. At the end of the URL and without leaving spaces we add the suffix “& num = X”Where X corresponds to the number of results that we want to display per page, and we press enter. For instance:

With this new parameter the page will be reloaded showing the number of results indicated. As you can see, a very simple trick as well as effective.
