Alas, there isn't a good way of doing this right now in htsearch. You
can certainly cut the number of hits, but you want it cut *after* the
results are sorted. Because htsearch currently sorts all results
before displaying, cutting the number of hits won't help. (Yes, this
is an extremely naive method--it would be better to sort only the top
X number of hits that need to be displayed.)
This is an optimization that will be better served at some point in
the 3.2 code (which also still does a full sort).
But don't worry, it's definitely on my "hit list" to fix!
