/searchdate only returning a handful of results

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. $ curl 
'http://otter.topsy.com/searchdate.json?q=flattr&window=m&perpage=50&page=3'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect some results, because I am only on page 3 and there are supposed to be 
4412 results in total, according to that output, but there are no results. Page 
2 is the last page that contains any results.

Apology for the inaccurate document. 

/searchdate is to return top-quality search results in the order of first 
citation. It performs regular search as /search, picks top N results based on 
relevance, then sort them by the timesstamp of the first citation. In other 
words, it is a timeline of high quality results. The quality level is 
controlled by parameter "zoom", the default value 10 will pick up to 100 
results.

Thanks,

-Ted
