Ask HN: Does any search engine support returning 100 results at a time?
Until recently, google supported appending &num=100 to the search URL to give back 100 results.
I really like receiving a long list of search results, and I use the lower down ones quite a lot. Also loved the ability to ctrl+f for terms in the search results (didn't do it often, but it is occasionally useful).
Unfortunately, Google recently dropped support for this parameter.
Does anyone know of a search engine that supports returning 100 results at a time?
I've looked at Duck Duck Go, Kagi, and Bing, but none of them do (that I could figure out).
They're probably worried about such settings being abused to scrape or proxy their content.
Duckduckgo allows you to enable "infinite scroll", so as a hack you can you can mash or hold down the "end" button or it's corrsponding shortcut in your OS/browser and get a lot of results in a few seconds.
SerpAPI has a free ($0/mo forever) plan that lets you get 100 results for 250 searches per month

I have not heard of another offering, and the next jump up in pricing from free to their cheapest paid plan is huge... so it's only a partial solution
bing did
google also unofficially did until sometime last week
bing now limits to 50 results per page even when signed in
