I'm getting the wrong number of results back from the /search route depending on what combination of values I provide for the tagged and nottagged parameters.

Examples:
http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/search?tagged=swing&nottagged=java

Here the response is reporting 149 total results, which is in agreement with what I'm currently seeing on site. The page size returned is 30, but I'm only getting back 29 questions.

http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/search?nottagged=php&tagged=curl

Here the total (290) and page size (30) in the response are also correct, but I'm only getting back 28 questions.

http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.0/search?tagged=curl&nottagged=perl

Here I'm only getting 27 questions returned in the first page of results when there are 894 in total.

Update:

It looks like there's been some progress (or this is mere coincidence) because when I run my tests again I get 29 questions in the result for the 3rd link instead of only 27.

  • @code, @system, @Kevin: I'm now getting 30 on the 1st and 3rd links, but still only 29 on the second. The pagesize value is correct (30), but only 29 questions are in the result.

    @Bill - that'll teach me to count... investigating.

  • @code: Thanks. You'd think I would know how this system works by now. :)

Alright, I think I've finally crushed this one.

This bloody bug has been an albatross. Non-reproducible locally, intermittently reproducible on the database end... just gah, gah everywhere.

  • I had a feeling this one would be nasty when the test output started changing on its own. Thanks for killing it.
