Google Abruptly Drops 100 Search Results Per Page Feature

Goo has abruptly discontinued the feature allowing users to view 100 search results per page via the '&num=100' parameter in the URL. The change, made without prior announcement, has left third-party tools and rank-checking services scrambling to adapt. Google confirmed that the parameter was never officially supported, despite being functional for many years. The tech giant did not elaborate on the reason behind the change or its impact on Search Console data. Consequently, Google's own Search Console data has witnessed a significant drop since the change. The sudden removal of this feature has caused chaos among rank-checking tools, which are now struggling to provide accurate data. Google's statement on the matter is that the URL parameter is not something they support. Google's decision to discontinue the '&num=100' parameter has left users and third-party tools grappling with the consequences. While Google has not officially explained the reason behind this change, it is clear that tools relying on this feature will need to adapt to this new reality.
