Attribute Descriptions for METADATA

Attribute	Usage
numresults	Number of datasets returned in the response.
startresult	Returns startresult attribute value used in request.
total	The number of documents retrieved from the database to fulfill a request. This value represents the number of documents returned in each response and does not represent the total number of documents that meet the criteria. Some examples include: A SEARCH_METADATA request specifies maxresults="10" and startresult="0". If the query finds 10 or more documents, METADATA numresults and total are both "10". A SEARCH_METADATA request does not specify maxresults. If the query finds 25 documents, METADATA numresults and total are both "25". A SEARCH_METADATA request specifies maxresults="10" and startresult="5". If 25 documents meet the requirement, METADATA numresults="10" and total="15" because 15 documents were retrieved in order to provide 10 documents beginning from position 5. Prior to ArcIMS 9.1, this attribute had a different behavior. The grand total of documents found in database for the given search criteria was included in the value.
