Wrong `total` returned

Question

https://listennotes.p.mashape.com/api/v1/search?q=android&type=episode&language=English gives me `total` as 109391 but https://listennotes.p.mashape.com/api/v1/search?q=android&type=episode&language=English&offset=10000 returns 
```
{
    "results": [],
    "next_offset": 10000,
    "total": 0,
    "took": 0.01,
    "count": 0
}
```

I should've made it clear in the documentation or return a meaningful error message (will do soon), but here's why --

Each page contains 10 results. When you specify next_offset=10000, this means "show me results on Page 1001. 

However, we can only show results up to Page 60 --  if the search results are relevant, there's not reason why a user needs to go to 100s of pages;  in other words, results on later pages are less relevant.

This seems to be common practice for search engines. Try this: pick a popular keyword on google and see if you are able to turn to Page 100.
