This morning I reported at the Search Engine Roundtable that there were several reports from searchers that they can’t go beyond page one of the Google search results. For example, if you searched for [shoe], you would get ten results and if you wanted the 11th result, normally you would click on the number 2 link at the bottom of the Google results. For some, that number 2 is not available.

A Google spokesperson said, “this is a bug affecting a small number of users. We will work to resolve it as soon as we can.” There were some users worried this was a new feature, limiting the results to a single page, but Google said this is not the case and it will be fixed as soon as possible.
