It would be nice to change the title to something coherent and useful, like, "Search queries containing only numbers," or something of that sort. As such, there's not a lot of incentive to click on "600613". (Yeah, I did it, mostly just to make this post coherent.)
In response to the trivia question: I'm assuming that it's impossible to find some N wit fewer than 10 digits. In all of my attempts I've received results relating to phone number reverse-lookup sites.
There also seems to be this website which exists just to generate a page full of numbers with any given prefix (defined in the URL):

Why?!
A new type of business: find a number that's not yet in google/bing/etc. - embded it in your text, and then track who's copied you verbatim - some kind of tracking I guess..
10,041,295,923 now returns exactly one result - the author's page, just as he theorized.
I wonder if it'll return two results soon.
website is under a heavy load, here is the cached version:

The about "number" results should give an idea but it might not be accurate, tells google. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ix3mHeL7hg
Anyway you only get the first 1000 results of your googling.
I think it's a matter of scale. The scale of the human race gives us a range of number that are humanly comprehensible. Their distribution diminishes as they make less and less sense to our scale.
That is pretty much the kind of posts I come to HN for. Thanks for the read :)
> Most numbers of this magnitude garner a few thousand hits on Google, but 25898913 gets 29,500,000.
If you actually click through the results, on pages 1-34 you get "Page 34 of about 24,900,000 results (0.34 seconds) ", but on page 35 you discover that there are only actually 341 results.
