Hello all,

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

Anyway I think there's a small discrepancy on the Wikimedia search results page, regarding the number of results that are displayed on a page.

- The 'View' links at the bottom of the page are all in 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 there are links for '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.

Not sure where this is arising from, maybe it's an interface issue, although I can't find a specific interface group at Wikimedia.

Apologies if this has already been brought up!

Best wishes,

Mick.
