I do not think so;

I think there are more degrees involved -  I get 109,000 in Chicago
(google chrome or firefox 3.5.8)
I get similar results with "advanced search";

I think this must have something to do with things like:  available
local Google server cache;  local Google server default configurations
(which could be configured differently per region);   local Google CPU
cycle settings / availability (which _might_ be affected by flushing
your cache / cookies)....  I wouldn't be surprised if you search the
same topic frequently, Google modifies how / what areas it searches
for you, and adapts CPU allocation for said search... not to limit so
much, as to give alternate results (if possible).... It's all about
strategy for service delivery (I will guess).

Here's some evidence to this effect (I'm in Chicago area):

Firefox: Clear "Everything" from recent history" - 607,000 results (in
0.17seconds);
--- clearing "everything from history" and cookies, on Google Chrome
(i.e. a webkit based browser) does not have this effect (still 109,00)

Repeat: (same);

Google Chrome:  109,000 in 0.18 seconds;
Expand "Show Options"
Select "Blogs": 3,530 results in 0.21 seconds

A fifth of a second seems to be the allocation for Chicago / user

(continuing):

select  past year:  1,200
select all, then past year: 119,000
all, anytime:  109,000
Not yet visited:  175,000

.... and so on...

You can see - as you modify the search criteria from a user
perspective, you are making some mix of changes which are not
transparent to you in the server-end search mechanisms.

This _is_ interesting (but I am pretty sure has nothiing to do w/
web2py, per se, but rather some peek at something about google local
search engine configurations-per-search).

Fun!
