Ah, well, Sphinx has pagination built-in - indeed, you can't turn it off. So
this is why you get 20 results unless requesting otherwise. :max_matches is the
total number of results that Sphinx pulls together, but :limit (or :per_page,
matching will_paginate's expectations) is the default page size.
Also: if you're setting :max_matches higher overall in your sphinx.yml file,
you will also need to set it on a per-query basis.
Hopefully this clarifies things :)
