[Web4lib] Google limit of 1,000 results

[Patricia F Anderson]

Thanks, Bernie! This is good to have confirmed (although I think 700 is 
*quite* a bit fewer than 1000!). My understanding from Grokker reps is 
that they can get more than 1000 Google hits included in their desktop 
appliance, but that few people want this or use it, and their default is 
1000. Google is one of their partners, so perhaps that has something to do 
with it? Or maybe I am misremembering what the rep said ...
