http search engines have quite a many results on a page, usually
also
it's usually first 3 pages that have relevant information, top 5 results are usually engineered and not relevent anyway, for www, also the extra results help to see how the query should be refined, such as "ice -cream" or whatnot

maybe make a "brief" and a "detailed" version, latter of which has longer descriptions and pagination (or simply a long page of the results?)

if you search for "blog" for example, you're bound to get more results than fit...and you might well want to see all of them...
related, maybe an option to reduce the hits on a single domain or directory? resulting in a hit, and at the end of the snippet or something, "and 7 other results from $domain" or such, obviously that is different enough that should be optional, if a feature at all

idk, maybe I'm overcomplicating and overthingking it all...
