Sorry, Google does not serve more than 1000 results for any query.

AFAIK, that's just an estimate anyway. (It's based on "we found this many hits in this lump of the web that we searched, and that lump is this much of the web, so we estimate that there are that many actual hits in the whole web.")

Oh, I'm not implying that they should provide any more results than they already do. I just thought it was mildly interesting.

Google's brand has the aura of an unlimited wealth of information. People don't even see it as a means by which they search anymore. When they say, "I found it on Google!" the website they actually found 'it' on is completely irrelevant.

However this note I found at the end of the list of search results destroys this aura. It makes you think, "Oh yeah, Google is just a website with a finite capacity to serve information."
