[Google Scholar API] Different quantities of documents in search_information.total_results for the same requests.

[KaluginSlava]

Example 1: https://serpapi.com/playground?engine=google_scholar&q=cancer&filter=0&no_cache=true

"total_results": 6680000

Example 2: https://serpapi.com/playground?engine=google_scholar&q=cancer&num=10&filter=0&no_cache=true

"total_results": 6540000

I need to mention that I cannot replicate this issue consistently, but there are instances where I receive completely different numbers in search_information.total_results, and I cannot find satisfactory explanations for these discrepancies. Please investigate this issue further.

Thanks for the issue @KaluginSlava. This variation is most likely on Google's side, as Google can sometimes be inconsistent with its estimate for the total number of results available for a query.

Since the inconsistency is coming from Google, there's unfortunately we can do to change it. Due to that, I'm going to close this issue.

However, I do want to note that we appreciate your taking the time to file a complete report, and we hope you won't be discouraged from opening issues in our Public Roadmap in the future, should you encounter other potential bugs.
