Batch (Page) Results
If you are running a Query
, Suggest
, or SuggestOnText
action, you can use the MaxResults
parameter with the Start
parameter to display only MaxResults
number of results, from the Start
position onwards.
The Start
value must be smaller than the MaxResults
value because if the position it specifies does not fall within the generated range of results, no results return for the query, even though results might be available.
Example 1:
http://IDOLhost:port/action=Query&Text=Wimbledon Tennis Championship&MaxResults=6&Start=6
In this example, if a total of 10 results is available for the query, only the sixth result returns for the query.
Example 2:
http://IDOLhost:port/action=Query&Text=Wimbledon Tennis Championship&MaxResults=100&Start=6
In this example, if a total of 10 results is available for the query, results 6 through 10 (inclusive) return for the query.
Example 3:
http://IDOLhost:port/action=Query&Text=Wimbledon Tennis Championship&MaxResults=5&Start=6
In this example, no results return for the query (even if results are available).
