OT: Yahoo Search API oddness

OT: Yahoo Search API oddness

am 23.10.2007 18:07:40 von greasydan

Hi, I'm using PHP and the Yahoo Search API, but I can't see a
reasonable explanation for the difference in totalResultsAvailable
and totalResultsReturned. Even when I specified results=25 in my
request I get the following in the result:

firstResultPosition: 1
totalResultsReturned: 12
totalResultsAvailable: 15

Why the discrepancy?

http://search.yahooapis.com/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?
appid=IDHERE&query=ward&results=25&site=www.hencore.gr&site= cozone.org.uk&site=www.sencore.se&site=www.dancore.dk&site=w ww.encora.eu

Thanks
GD
