I have a really big problem:
I'm using the Google Custom Search Engine CSE with the REST API to find some URL but a lot of search engine results are missing.
I look on the internet about this fact and a lot of people have the same problem. e.g
stackoverflow.com/questions/34173457/why-google-web-search-api-custom-search-engine-and-page-search-results-are-diff If I used the keyword "site:" to see how many page are indexed in CSE I found a few result but in a normal web browser I found about 93% more results.
Here is the test for "site:stackoverflow.com"
Web : 43 400 000 results
CSE : 3 190 000
Anyone has experienced the same ?

Google's site: search result count is a very inaccurate measure. See:
Why Google Can’t Count Results Properly
Is Google search site:yoursite.com result count a good indicator of Google's indexing and does it really mean anything in SEO terms?
The bottom line is that you can use Google's estimates of the number of results to figure out how many documents are indexed. There may be far more, or far fewer documents in the index compared to the number Google prints for the result count. The only way that Google for you to estimate the number of pages indexed for a particular site is to see the number for your verified site in Google Search Console.
Unless you have found a specific document that is in the search results for the site: search, but doesn't come up in the CSE, you don't have a problem.
