[Wikimedia-l] Incorrect info on numbers of results returned on Wikimedia search page?

[Michael Khoo]

Hello everyone,

I'm a newcomer here so apologies if this is not the best place to post this
(any advice on where I should be going would be much appreciated - many
thanks).

Anyway I there's a small discrepancy on the Wikimedia search results page.

- The 'View' links at the bottom of the page are all multiples of 10 - e.g
20, 50, 100
- The actual number of returned results all appear to be multiples of 10
- The /reported/ numbers of returned results are all ((some multiple of
10)+1)

So for example I carry out a search, and I see the first twenty results. At
the bottom of the page it says 'next 20,' etc.

However at the top right of the page it says 'Results 1-21" which is 21
results.

If I view the next 20 results, I see 20 results, but the top right of the
page says 'Results 21-41" which is 21 results again, and so on.

Apologies if this has already been brought up!

Best wishes,

Mick.
