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.
