The last result on Google search

Hello Reader!

This is my 1st ever blog. So I wanted to write something which I found on google search. From my experience, there are about 90% of people who start their day by typing www.google.com
Has anyone observed the last result displayed in whatever seconds? Lets not go into technical part because it will get in lot of other stuff which I am not interested right now. I am just an user who wants to search and see the last result. So I queried with a string London and I got "Results 1 - 10 of about 504,000,000 for London [definition]. (1.55 seconds)" on google page with results.

Now I changed my preference to display 100 results in a page. I clicked on page number 10 so that I can quickly go to the last page. What did I see?
"In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 971 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.
"

Alright! There are some results omitted so lets include that also. I clicked on the link and I got the 1st page with 100 results. Now I again clicked on page 10 to see the last page. Where is the last page? That's it! It can show only results upto 1000.

I am just an user and I want to see the (504,000,000 - 1)th result. If it cannot be displayed then why is it necessary to say that these many results were found? I simply call it as fake. Now I even have a doubt on the time. Is it real? Are these part of the business? Perhaps!
