And that's in line with the previous experiment. If you have a 32% zero results rate, reducing it by 38% (32% * (1-.38)) gives 19.84%. So, allow a little rounding error in the "32", "38" and "19", and this is right on the money.

P.S.: 2 + 2 = 5, for very large values of 2.

I ran some zero result rate tests against this API today, it is a huge reduction in the zero result rate over the existing prefix search. from 32% to 19% (on a 1% sample of prefix searches for an entire day)

This is very cool! From my very short testing, seems that it works
pretty nicely.
