Can You Still Show 100 Google Search Results on One Page? (2026)
Used to see 100 Google search results on one page? For years you could change Google’s “Results per page” setting or add &num=100 to the search URL to load 100 results at once. In September 2025 Google quietly removed both options, so today Google shows about 10 results per page. Here’s what changed, why, and the best ways to see more search results in 2026.
Quick answer: You can no longer display 100 Google search results on one page. The Results per page setting and the num=100 URL parameter stopped working in September 2025. Use the page numbers at the bottom of Google, or try DuckDuckGo or Bing, which keep loading more results as you scroll.

How the 100 Google search results trick used to work
Back when we first wrote this in 2012, you had to turn off Google Instant results first. Then in Search settings, a Results per page slider let you choose 10, 20, 30, 50 or 100 results.
Power users also added &num=100 to the end of a Google search URL, for example google.com/search?q=seo+tips&num=100, to get 100 results instantly. SEO rank trackers relied on this trick to check rankings in one request.
Why Google removed 100 results per page
Google confirmed it no longer supports the parameter but didn’t give detailed reasons. The likely reasons reported by the SEO industry:
- Limiting scraping: bots and AI tools used
num=100to collect large amounts of search data cheaply. - Matching real behaviour: most people never look past the first page.
- Reducing server load from automated requests.
Google also tried continuous scrolling (loading more results as you scroll) from 2021 to 2024, then returned to classic numbered pages in mid-2024.
How to see more search results today
- Use Google’s page numbers: scroll to the bottom and click Next or a page number.
- Refine your search: use quotes for exact phrases,
site:for one website,-wordto exclude terms, and Tools to filter by date. - Try DuckDuckGo: click More results to keep loading results on the same page.
- Try Bing: it loads more results as you scroll on many devices.
- Use the “Web” filter on Google (under More) for plain blue links without AI Overviews and other features.
What it means for SEO and rank tracking
After the change, many sites saw fewer impressions and better average positions in Google Search Console. That’s because bots loading 100 results had been inflating impressions for low rankings. Clicks were unaffected. Rank tracking tools now need up to 10 requests to check the top 100, so some trackers raised prices or now track fewer positions.

Frequently asked questions
Does num=100 still work on Google?
No. Google stopped supporting the &num=100 parameter in September 2025, and it now returns about 10 results per page.
Can I change the number of results per page in Google settings?
No. The Results per page option has been removed from Google Search settings.
Why did my Search Console impressions drop in September 2025?
Most likely because of the num=100 change. Fewer bot views of deep results means fewer recorded impressions, not fewer real visitors.
Now here is another followup question. With Yahoo you can inspect element and see the ranking through the link ID. Is there a way to see what rank you are listed at in Google using a similar method?

Thanks for this great post. Actually, it is a simple thing to watch but in reality it will help us to check Google rank quickly.
But showing all results at one page would make screen little messy though useful tips..
