"As a Client Developer, I want to specify the number of pages to return in the search results, so that I have just the right number of results for my user interface."
Passing along a segment size parameter. I don't think we need multiple segments per search; it's also hard to manage that with relevance-based searches.
Propose limit, integer value, default = 50.

Feedback from @Anomie:
already in the Action API; the REST SearchHandler probably doesn't include this yet but shouldn't be hard to add. It should use PARAM_TYPE => 'limit'.
max_results alternatively could be called limit. limit is a very frequently used term in software development with query languages and API.
If we allow the client to specify a limit, we should also enforce a hard maximum. I'm assuming 100 for now.
