# Batch (Page) Results

If you are running a `Query`, `Suggest`, or `SuggestOnText` action, you can use the `MaxResults` parameter with the `Start` parameter to display only `MaxResults` number of results, from the `Start` position onwards.

The `Start` value must be smaller than the `MaxResults` value because if the position it specifies does not fall within the generated range of results, no results return for the query, even though results might be available.

Example 1:

    http://IDOLhost:port/action=Query&Text=Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire&MaxResults=6&Start=6

In this example, if a total of 10 results is available for the query, only the sixth result returns for the query.

Example 2:

    http://IDOLhost:port/action=Query&Text=Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire&MaxResults=100&Start=6

In this example, if a total of 10 results is available for the query, results 6 through 10 (inclusive) return for the query.

Example 3:

    http://IDOLhost:port/action=Query&Text=Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire&MaxResults=5&Start=6

In this example, no results return for the query (even if results are available).
