Hmm, that is interesting.

A search for "dog" displays the following max
results:

Safari/Firefox: "about 276,000,000"
           Lynx: "about 419,000,000"

When I set Lynx's user agent to Safari's, I get 276,000,000.
So it 
looks like Google is giving different results based on user
agent.

I wonder what's hidden in the extra 143 million results?
