The whole point of the web is that it is dynamic. There is no guarantee that a search result that was on page 3 last week, to use your example, will be on page 3 today. Further, in many cases, bookmarking page 3 of a search result produces a null result when accessed, because the web site needs you to re-enter the original search term.

I would say people probably want to know where it was in a single session, not in 3 weeks.
im sorry do web results have 3 pages?

how much time do you have to browse a bad search hit?

I love this comment. Not for why you’d think though.

I believe it shows how close the nodes for “web” and the number 3 have got in our heads.
