Actually, I had a good example of a time when thet Google limit of ~1000
results interferes with a real search process. The recent news event of
bombings at Sharm al-Sheikh resort. A few hours after the event, I was
trying to find the earliest known news report of the event. Went to Google
News, sorted by date, and there were more than a 1000 articles, so could
not even get close to finding the first one.
I'm sure there are other not uncommon valid searches where the 1000 limit
causes problems.
