integer (uint32 format)

The index of the first result to return. The default number of results per page is 10, so &start=11 would start at the top of the second page of results. Note: The JSON API will never return more than 100 results, even if more than 100 documents match the query, so setting the sum of start + num to a number greater than 100 will produce an error. Also note that the maximum value for num is 10.
