100 results?

Why are the search results different when you choose 100 results per page from the default 10 results per page? Why does that affect the rankings, isnt it just an onpage display option?

Ive found out now, in 100 reults per page mode, google adds extra results, which you will see indented in the page. I think its a stupid idea, because some Google ranking tools will give you a false result. EG I used a tool today to search for my site for a key phrase, and it came up as number 12 when I limited it to the top 100. But if you search google, it is number 8. It is only number 12 if you put Results per Page up to 100.

the indent is an awesome good deal for people searching through competitors backlinks

I've never noticed changes when I change that default.

do other people see this, too?
