Presumably by clicking through to the last page of results. (For me it drops from 473k to 121).

But this is the number of results Google will show you, not the total number of matches.
Google never retrieves more than a few hundreds results (I get 239 for "cat").

The difficulty is in knowing which number to trust. The hit count shown on the first page is only an estimate and often wildly inaccurate.
In the case of "cat", 2.3 billion is obviously much closer to the real number than 239, but try an exact match search on something really obscure.
I searched for the clearly ungrammatical "りんごを落ちる" and got "38,300 results".
But click on page 2 and it ends there. 15 results.

Both these numbers are probably wrong, but it's anyone's guess as to how wrong.

Something to keep in mind when looking at Google hits.

Jim, How did you get the number 117?
What search string did you use?

117 unique Googits, not that they mean anything these days.

I agree. I actually amended a couple of lines above to:

"other countries and their capital cities and other significant cities".

That should cover it.

On the other hand, the policy does not make much sense for the US.
Most US cities worth including are not state capitals
(New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Fransisco, ...)
while most state capitals are not worth including
(Sacramento (California), Albany (New York), Pierre (South Dakota), ...)
Maybe
"states and provinces of English-speaking countries and their capital cities"
should be changed to
"states, provinces and major cities in English-speaking countries"

Duh.

Editorial policy:
...
The proper names considered appropriate for inclusion are: 
...
states and provinces of English-speaking countries and their capital cities

capital of New Mexico

In JMnedict. Doesn't meet our criteria for named entities 
here.
