Yes, this is a sad regression. In case anyone from inside Google is reading this and looking for a good example, try this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=scansnap+%22s1300i%22+%22s15...

The first 70 results are all from the same site!

It's a decent site, but most of the pages are barely relevant. I was searching multiple viewpoints that might explain why I would prefer one model of a scanner over another, and getting page after page from the same single source is much worse than the previous behaviour.



weird, I see 5 different domains (in incognito mode in chrome and private browsing in Firefox). The first three are all from one site, but after that there's fujitsu, amazon, lawyerist, and some kind of "snapsnapcommunity". There are more than a few decent looking reviews on the second page, too, which I'm not used to seeing in review searches...

There are quite a few from that one site, though.


Thanks for the detailed results. I get many more than 3, so your info inspired me to try figure out what's happening. I'm now more convinced that it's a bug rather than desired behaviour.

I first tried signing out, in case personalization was breaking things: no change. Then I tried "verbatim": no change. Then I tried changing the number of results from 100 to 10, and I see what you do: 3 from Documentsnap, 5 from various Fujitsu sites, then Amazon and Snapscancommunity.

Switch the number of results back to 100, and I'm back to getting more overwhelmed by Documentsnap. I counted again, and this time got 65 Documentsnap followed by 10 Fujitsu, then finally some variety.
