Google displays 10 search results by default which is probably enough for most users who statistically use the first ten results most of the time ignoring the rest of the results. I on the other hand tend to view more than one page normally and was looking for a way to increase my productivity by displaying more than 10 results on a single search result page. I found a Greasemonkey script which changes the value from 10 to 100 for normal Google searches.
Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows you to customize the way webpages look and function. Users already created thousands of scripts for Greasemonkey that can do all sorts of things like removing unneeded features (like the comments) from sites like Youtube. Back to the Google 100 script: Whenever you perform a search on Google you will see 100 results on the first page which makes my life much easier.
The Greasemonkey script only works if you open the Google homepage, it does not work with Google search bars for instance. It is true that this can be changed in the preferences which adds a cookie to your system. The Greasemonkey script works without cookies obviously.

Nice!! i am googler(!!). this is useful
Thanks
I’m not sure why u want to install this tool. U can easily change your results to 100 in the preferences @ google. you have to activate cokies i guess.
Tarantas the main advantage is that you do not need to use a cookie (or edit the preferences everytime you delete the cookie)
In firefox just type about:config in address bar. Then change the value for Keyword.Url to http://www.google.com/search?&num=100&q=
Now you can do a 100 result Google search right from the address bar. I never go to google’s page for anything at any point. I do images/news/maps using quicksearch keywords right from the address bar and removed the search box all together.
I tried the about:config hack and it didn’t work. I found an “all.js” script in the Firefox installed directory “greprefs” and that didn’t help either.
I could swear I saw something about changing something in the documents and settings application for mozilla.
If you want to show more than 10 results, instead of using Google 100, why don’t you just change the Preferences in Google??? I can’t believe someone made an extension for that. LOL.
only add &unm=100 to google url, and you will get the 100 result in one page
