Pagination issues

   Say we do a search for races in the US (with a 12 races per page) --
   http://search.active.com/search?l=everywhere&m=meta%3AstartDate%3Adaterange%3Atoday..+meta%3Achannel%3DRunning+meta%3AsplitMediaType%3DEvent&k=&v=json&num=12&s=relevance&r=45&page=1
   
   This returns something like this:
   {"endIndex":12,"numberOfResults":4180,"pageSize":12,"searchTime":0.122798,"_results":[ ... }
   
   So there should be ceil(4180/12) = pages of results.
   
   However going to page 100 returns nothing:
   {"endIndex":0,"numberOfResults":0,"pageSize":12,"searchTime":4.86E-4,"_results":[]}
   
   The search frequently returns nothing as early as the 5th page of the results. And I am using my API key when searching, I took it out for this example.

   The "numberOfResults" count is an estimate from our search engine and is often, as you've discovered, inaccurate. What's the nature of your application? Maybe we can help you architect a work around as we've done on http://search.active.com.
