				<title>How does maxRows work?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ If I limit the number of results returned for a search with maxRows, for example

http://ws.geonames.org/search?maxRows=20&name_equals=Inverness

how are the 20 results chosen?  There are more than 20 places whose names are precisely "Inverness".

				<description><![CDATA[ The maxRows does not affect the sorting. It just returned the first n rows as sorted by the full text search engine. The sort function depends on a lot of factors like: the name (term frequency/inverse document frequency), feature code, population, country, etc.
