Differences whenbetween searching on StackOverflowStack Overflow and when doing throughusing the API?

I am trying to get some information by usinguse the Stack Exchange API.

Particularly, I'm interested on being able to make some queries to see the trends on different topics.

Looking in yourat the API documentation, I see that I could do this by using http://api.stackexchange.com/docs/searchthe /search path (it's documented that this method is limited, although it doesn't mention if meaning to results limits or other kind of limitations).

So, I also tried http://api.stackexchange.com/docs/advanced-search/advanced-search.

There is no mention to any kind of limitation for this one, however. However, I don't get the same results that the ones I get when searching on the website. 
ExampleFor example:

/2.2/search/advanced?order=desc&sort=activity&q=raml rest&site=stackoverflow

/2.2/search/advanced?order=desc&sort=activity&q=raml rest&site=stackoverflow

(only 6 items and "has_more" property is false).

If I run that query on the page: http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=raml%20rest I'm currently getting 18 results. Am I missing something? Is this API method limited somehow?

(I tried to find something similar on these forums but wasn't able too).

Your help will be appreciated. Regards.

Differences between searching on Stack Overflow and using the API?

I am trying to use the Stack Exchange API to see the trends on different topics.

Looking at the API documentation, I see that I could do this using the /search path (it's documented that this method is limited, although it doesn't mention if meaning to results limits or other kind of limitations).

I also tried /advanced-search.

There is no mention to any kind of limitation for this one. However, I don't get the same results that I get when searching on the website. 
For example:

/2.2/search/advanced?order=desc&sort=activity&q=raml rest&site=stackoverflow

(no page size, no limit, no nothing) yields:

(only 6 items and has_more property is false).

If I use Stack Overflow search: stackoverflow.com/search?q=raml%20rest 
I'm currently getting 18 results.

Am I missing something? Is this API method limited somehow?

(I tried to find something similar on these forums but wasn't able too).
