Google has apparently found my blog quite quickly, it has indexed all pages in less than three days.The funny part was seeing how Google approximated the number of indexed pages.

Sure, when there are millions of pages an estimate that is within 20 of the actual number is fine. But when there are only 24 results on three pages, an estimate of 2 is 99.92% off. A small check that the approximate number is in fact greater than the maximum search result shown on the page could probably be a good idea.
