Danny Sullivan, Google's Search Liaison, explained that Google has made it harder to find the results count in searches because it can be a distraction and researchers should use Google Trends for more accurate data. He mentioned that result counts are broad estimates and not necessarily indicative of interest or popularity. Google has been testing removing the results count completely, but it remains available under the "Tools" menu.
