Interestingly, if you try to browse far into the results, Google decided it actually only has 73 to display (after telling it to include ommitted similar results).

Google makes only a rough estimate of the total number of results. Try it on any query that returns a relatively small number of results.
86000 is certainly a _rough_ estimate of, um, 17.
I think Google is cleaning it up. (shows only 13 results for me)
That's with similar entries omitted. You need to go to the second page and have it repeat the search with those entries included.
ah my bad. Thanks for pointing out.
add a number to the search term, e.g. "123"...
