But how reliable are those estimates of numbers of hits, anyway? More 
than once I've got a page showing something like "Results 1 - 10 of 
about 36 hits", only to find that there were no more pages after the 
second one. If it could get estimates so wrong with such small numbers, 
how can you trust the large ones?
