If one selects "next page" at the bottom, it brings up the next handful:
http://news.lugnet.com/?q=lego&qn=10

But if one changes the "10" in the url to "100," it still only brings up 10
hits.
http://news.lugnet.com/?q=lego&qn=100

This is hardly what one might call A Big Deal, but I thought that it used to be
possible to increase the number of hits per page and thereby speed browsing of
one's search results.  Do I remember incorrectly?

I thought the qn was how many results to skip - so by entering 100,
you're skipping to page 10?

Not sure though.
