Because the more results you fetch at once, the more memory it uses on
the server, thus increasing the likelihood of a bunch of simultaneous
requests causing an out-of-memory condition. I did already explain this,
not sure why it's hard to get across. Most (all?) search engines limit
the number of results you get per page.

In fact, there really should be a hard limit that the server imposes.
(Michael, could you look at implementing that?)
