Yea.. there would be more total hits for PDFs found on page 2 or page 3... which I didn't analyze. 500 I think is good enough. Enough reading already ;)

meaning the ranking? Algolia is probably using a different score algorithm. If I were designing it I would probably also factor in number of comments but I think it's fair to use number of upvotes.
