Hi, I am using Yahoo! Search Web Services on my website to search my site and display results.

I am having few problems with the search results.
1. All the search results are not being displayed. Ex. search for Alabama, you will see 15 results but once we go to page to will only find upto 13.
2. Sometimes, the search count is also not showing up correctly. Ex. if we search for middle schools, the count shows as 415 on page 1, but from page 2 shows as 409 and from page 8 shows as 407.
3. For the same search key word I also found the search resutls are same from page 8
4. .. and only 7 results are displayed per page from page 8.

Can any one please help me what could be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Sarath.

It's likely you are going to have to refer to the support on that API from them, msarath. I believe there is a sample PHP script in the development kit, have you tried using that?
