This is also a good example to illustrate how max really works (finding the max within the displayed results as opposed to finding the max in the database). > > So I suggest making sure the documentation is clear enough so people > don't misuse it while keeping the printer.

Maybe it is even better to have max as an anchor for this documentation -- people who don't want max (but don't know it yet) will likely be looking there.
