 How do I get the number of results for a given search phrase? I don't
 want the results themselves, I just want to know the size of the
 results set for any given phrase. For example jnni hinklebootmurgh
 returns 0 results, where michael jackson returns gazillions. How can
 I get just the total number of results? I thought max_id might have
 something to do with it, but evidently not.


This question has been asked a few times before - it isn't available.

But then how does the search know it has zero results, and how does
it know when its reached the end of the results, ie, there are no more
results to fetch?
