GoogleBot 0x5c45db9: Curious human being encountered
Request for immediate termination
[Logref #8b77f4.b304]
please stand by... -
@Demolishun A logs' collector. Collects application logs to a single data store and has an interface for searching (web-gui). The search in the logs is query-based (resembles SQL in a way).
Anyway, the point is - after query execution it shows how many millions of results has it found. But it only allows to browse the last 1'000 results or so. And if I try to click "next page" when I'm already on the last one, it says "Max 1k results are available. Please narrow down your search criteria".
Web search engines are not the only ones that restrict access to further results' pages. Some other search tools do that too.

WTF!? Is the internet is fake? What happened to the actual internet?
If you take any search phrase and search on Google or Bing you will get millions or billions or results. But if you go to the last page enough times it will drop down to a total of like 200 results. I am unsure on other search engines as they make it difficult to jump ahead in the search (only provide "next page"). I was going to the next page of results in Brave search engine and it came up with a "are you human" test. Like nobody is going to search more than a few pages. This definitely makes me feel like in am in the Truman Show.
What is the point of limiting to only a few hundred pages? Why show millions or billions for initial search? Are there any real search engines that don't filter so much? Did the technocrats burn the second great library already?
