How to Set Google Search Results Per Page

By default, when you search for something on Google, the site displays 10 results per page. If you would like to see more results, you can increase the results count from a Settings option on Google. (Note! As of this writing, this feature is only available for the desktop).

By default, when you search for something on Google, the site displays 10 results per page. If you would like to see more results, you can increase the results count from a Settings option on Google. (Note! As of this writing, this feature is only available for the desktop). In this blog post, we will show you how easily this is done.

To view more search results without having to click the next page number for your Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, first, open a web browser on your computer and access the Google site.

At the bottom right-hand corner of the Google site, click Settings. Refer to the below image:

Search 1
Accessing Google Search Settings

Next, from the pop-up menu that opens, select Search settings. See the below image:

Accessing Search settings option

Now, on the Search Settings page, from the left sidebar, select Search results. See the following image:

Accessing Search results option

Next, on the right pane, you will see a Results per page slider. To increase the number of results per page, drag this slider to the right. Beneath the slider, you will see the number of search results you can enable on Google. Your options are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 100. (Note! Your searches will be slower if you choose to display more results per page than the default). Refer to the below image:

Now, to save your changes, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click Save. See the below image:

Search 5
Save your changes

Next, in the prompt, Your preferences have been saved, click OK. See the following image:

Search 6
Confirming your changes

You will now see your selected number of search results per page on Google Search on your desktop. If you ever want to modify this option, you can head to the same menu and choose a new number.

Here is a helpful insight on using Google Search for you to consider. As of this writing, Chrome 95 has a bug in its Reading List option. To research, this or any other problem, start with the highest level then drill-down levels. For example, you would enter the following text for the search:

Google Chrome 95 Reading List option Add current tab is dimmed

The highest level is Google, next is Chrome 95, and so on. You will get better search results by following this guideline.

Quote For the Day

When you’re an engineer, you want to analyze things a lot. But if you believe that the most important data points are people, then you have to make conclusions in relatively short order. Because you want to push the people who are doing great. And you want to either develop the people who are not or, in a worst case, they need to be somewhere else.

  1. When I go to change my search results it does not show the slider, rather it says, “(In regions where continuous scrolling is available, this setting will have no effect, even if continuous scrolling is off)” Do you know how to change this or any chrome extensions that can change the results per page. Ive tried changing my region but still havent had any luck.

    1. Hi Leo, thanks for your comment.

      Google is always changing. The post was posted in Nov 2021. I now have a Disclaimer about old posts.

      This option to set Search Results is no longer available. Changing the Region has no effect.

      I now get 30 plus results per page and I did not set this.
