Does anyone know how to jump to the last result in a Google search?

Or to, say, the 506th result?

Try this.

• Type your word into the search box and search it.
  
• Then click on another page of the search results.
  
• Then in the link in the address bar at the top of the page, you'll see a number after the part that says this: "start="
  
• Retype in there the search result number you want to go to or keep going up until you go too far. When I go too far, it takes me back to the first page. You might have a limit on the number of search results that is displayed so if you really want them all, you'll have to change it.

Also, you could change the number of results you get per page in Preferences. That might make it easier to just scroll through.

I tried this, and it worked partially. I tried it going up in 20s (i.e. start=1, 20, 40 etc) and then 500. When I did this it took me to the first page, even though it said there were 36800 results. I tried going to 1000, but it came up with an error message which said

quote:

Sorry, Google does not serve more than 1000 results for any query. (You asked for results starting from 1000.)

Any suggestions for getting past this point?

Google doesn't serve more than 1000 results per query. You can get to the 1000th or last result by setting your preferences to display 100 results per page and then clicking on the highest number at the bottom of the results page.
Alternatively, you can specify a URL with the results that you want Google to display. Request results 900-999 for the query [googleguide] with the URL:
http://www.google.com/search?q=googleguide&num=100&start=900
If there aren't 900 results, Google will display the last page of results. If you value of the variable start and min(num, 100) (the minimum value of the variable num and 100) add up to more than 1000, Google will display the following error message:

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

All this is what you have basically said in your post but the point being, no matter how many results show on a google search page, at any given time only 1000 results are available. The statistic bar is only showing an estimate of the total number of results that Google estimates are possible. But they only show 1000.

Dear Georgia85,

Thank you very much for your posting. I got it to work. In addition, thank you for referring me to GoogleGuide. It was very useful.
