More Google Image Search bugs

Bug #1 (trivial bug):

The bug is that for image searches the "Number of results to display per page" parameter has no effect.

Try this...

From a Google Image Search page (new or basic view), click Search Settings, change the number of results to display per page (10 to 100), then save your preferences. Regardless of the value you select, when you run a new search (e.g. snow) Google Image search displays the same number of results.

Note: Google Web and Google News search do not have this bug.

Bug #2 (medium bug):

The bug is that using the new Image Search view, a user cannot print all of the image results.

Try this...

From a Google Image Search page (new view), run an image search, then use the page down button to display all of the 20+ subpages. When you are sure all images display, go to File -> Print Preview. Try various print drivers, different scale values, and both portrait and landscape orientations.

Even when I go to landscape with 10% scale, only a fraction of the image results can be printed.

Note: Google Web, Google News, and Google Images search (basic view) do not have this bug.
