The Hits class is OK but can be inefficient due to re-running the query unnecessarily.
The class below illustrates how to efficiently retrieve a particular page of results and lends itself to webapps where you don't want to retain server side state (i.e. a Hits object) for each client. It would make sense to put an upper limit on the "start" parameter (as Google etc do) to avoid consuming to much RAM per client request.

The pagination is controlled by you.
