I don't remember when it happened, but now I notice when I search for a term in Google the frequency of the term is not told. Before it was useful to know if the term appeared millions of times or only 43 times. Now I don't know anymore. Have I done something in the settings to make the frequency disappear?

Sometimes happens to me Jan 2, 2021

This sometimes happens to me as well. Usually it just returns after a while or after restarting the browser.

Google results are, however, random numbers. It may show 43 million hits but if you click on the last page, it shows there are really only 457. So, it's not as useful as it used to be.

Only on Chrome Jan 2, 2021

When I search on Opera, the results number is shown. So I have to be unknown to Google to see the numbers.

Exact match / Verbatim Jan 2, 2021

I notice that if you select the "exact match" option (e.g. when using literals to search for a collocation), it inhibits the results number.

Seems like... Jan 2, 2021

...logging out may work, for some reason. That's what I've read on some forums.

I haven't used Google in quite a while. Duckduckgo doesn't give you the number of hits either.
