For more results, it always says "7 of", even after clicking "More".
And larger searches always end at 1023 items: http://www.ycombinator.search.xirium.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?...
Oh, and I saw this in the results: "If I’d only known!"
Hope this helps.

Doh! The library routine to perform estimates was working fine, the command line utility works fine, but there was a bad assumption between the web interface and the web service.
> larger searches always end at 1023 items
Many search engines limit to 200 results because some search algorithms become more computationally expensive when finding more data. It also costs more in bandwidth. However, special for you, I've raised the limit to a number much larger than the number of posts in this forum.
Your remaining report is due to an interaction with data sanitisation and Unicode.

Most certainly. Thank you for your concise and constructive report.
