No, whether you use advanced search or not there is usually a notice right
after your results that says something like pages that are very similar to
each other have not been included in these results; click here to show all
results. I too usually find what I am looking for in the first search so I
kind of for got about it. If I recall correctly now, if you have multiple pages
of results that notice may appear only on the last page.

I use google all the time, too, but since I always get what I'm looking for
I didn't realize there's a button that reveals what google hides. Thanks
for
the info. Is that in advanced search, which I haven't used?
