> You can no longer view 100 results at once. The new hard limit is 10.

Does Google not support lazy-loading more results or is that not supported via API or what's going on here?

Writing a web crawler is not too complicated.

I predict every 'AI' company will have a homegrown search engine in a few months to account for this.

The way this would be publicly usable is through the new generation of 'AI' browsers.

Clickbait title. They only cut off the AI that was using Google as their crawler, which was not a good idea in the first place. I’d love to ask the developers of these AIs: what exactly did you expect to happen here?

i thought most of the major ai vendors (excl google) used their own crawlers and indexes, or licensed from a non-google company

"Most large language models like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity rely directly or indirectly on Google's indexed results to feed their retrieval systems and crawlers."

Is this true?

I thought OpenAI was using Bing. Gemini obviously will use Google but to them the restriction does not apply. Claude says it uses Brave.
