No, and by default the limit is 100 hits per backend.  There was a bug
recently where "invalid" documents (ie, ones that were in the index but
no longer on disk, but that hadn't been removed for whatever reason)
were being returned as part of the total count.  I believe dBera fixed
that for 0.2.16, however.
