When results are returned for a search, the slot numbering isn't sequential. This means that the first result for the search may have the index 10, rather than 1, for example:
Note that the result has the number 10 even though there is a single result.
While this doesn't make a big difference most of the time, search results can be truncated if results have a high numbered index and a limit is set. For example, the same search as shown above, but without a limit, returns 2 items:
Note that the second item has an index 17. But because the limit was set to 10, and 17 > 10, this result was not included in the first "page" of results for the limit=10 search, even though there are only 2 results.
