HN's search through Algolia is similar.

An unqualified search reports (at this writing) just north of 30 million results (30,000,229). It will display only 34 pages' worth of results, I believe 1,000.

As discussed recently on HN, the match count is useful information even where all matching results are not displayed as it indicates whether or not a query is generic.

Contrast search: <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...> (one result as of this writing).
