Reference to how much Google knows about us and the 'Filter Bubble'? OTOH could just be a straight-forward observation of the search habits of most people - if I don't find what you're looking for on the first page , I try to refine my search terms rather than goto page 2 . 108.162.225.132 05:52, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

But you can remember a time when you did go to the second or third page with some frequency, back when the Gooooooooooogle at the bottom of each page was rendered in text and your mom thought it was just so cool that the red 'o' showed her which page she was on. jameslucas (" " / +) 14:32, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
What do you mean, “back when”? The Gooooooooooogle still behaves the way you described. --108.162.254.64 16:58, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Interestingly, some research <citation missing> shows that Google's results are oriented more towards commercial results than other vendors, meaning that if you are looking for a non-commercial answer you might need to look at the second page (or switch search providers).

I really want to see that citation. --NeatNit (talk) 15:09, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
