By default the /search method is supposed to return 30 results per page, but it's returning 31. I only tested a few other values for pagesize
but it looks like it always returns one extra result.
In case it makes a difference, I was using the tagged
parameter to search by. Here's an example:
http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/search?tagged=java&pagesize=1
Also, it doesn't seem to matter whether you provide an API key or not.
