Subsort for too many finds

Often when completing a lengthy Google search which takes 1.87 seconds to report finding 1,243,400 records on the keywords, I scan the first few pages of finds with helpful subparagraphs for context. While I am evaluating the germaneness of these first few pages to my research idea as it develops, there remain 1,243340 unviewed items; each of the unviewed items was found by a Google algorithm. Does Google plan to offer a second tier look based on subsorts? For example, if I searched for pure bred boxer dogs, and Google had included history as a topic in its own algorithm, it might offer me a subselection menu containing the titles of the algorithmic searches which found the entire 1,243,400 total relevant webpages: e.g., 'Do you want to see a few pages listing websites about history of boxer dogs?, DNA research into the boxer genome?, famous champion boxer dogs in American Kennel Club dog shows?, images from kitsch shops that sell figurines of boxer dogs?, anthropological research sites that discuss the bond of sporting breeds with homo sapiens?. Surely Google has a lot of subcategories from which it comprises the total of pages found. Given a minute of visitor research on the first few pages of links found, Google should have had enough timeslice opportunity to begin to provide more specifics, at least to offer you the names of some of its principal subcategories.

Additionally, I would like to see a random option, whereby Google would grab some finds from far into its found links list, and offer these on a separate page. Additionally there could be yet another offering: to let the visitor view a page of titles of found webpages each of which the algorith found to have only only a few similar pages in their subgroup of successful hits found.
