Paging and order of results

[Miguel Ceriani]

Hi,

Using the /track endpoint for searches I noticed that the order of the results is not stable among multiple calls in which I changed just the offset.

I would had expected the order to be stable, to be able to paginate the results.

Is that a known issue?

I can send you some examples.

Best regards,

Miguel

Hi,

Originally I did not use the order parameter. After your question I tried also with 'order=relevance'.

I received different results, that is in itself unexpected because according to the documentation (when describes the order parameter) "relevance is the default order".

Anyway, in both cases, the order is unstable (or better said, the responses are inconsistent among each other).

Below I listed the queries I used.
