Google Testing Removing The Estimated Number Of Search Results

Google Abacus

Google Search is testing removing the estimated number of search results figure you typically see under the search bar after you conduct a search query. Google tested this back in 2016 and I guess Google is testing it again.

Initially, when I was first told about this test by Punit on Twitter and then Eli Schwartz on Twitter last week, I thought maybe it was a CSS bug. But since then, a few other people noticed it, including Steve Plunket on Twitter and some on Facebook. So I guess this is a test.

Here is a GIF of it:

The site command is really not that useful and known to be widely inaccurate – so I am not sure I care if it goes away… I suspect the estimated numbers shown is also super inaccurate…
