It's lack of search result that Finding API/findItemsAdvanced returns

Question

I'm trying to retrieve search results by using Finding API/findItemsAdvanced,

It seems to inconsistent a count of searchResult and paginationOutput.

For example, following is containing 'adidas' as keywords.

const url = `https://svcs.ebay.com/services/search/FindingService/v1\
?OPERATION-NAME=findItemsAdvanced\
&SERVICE-VERSION=1.0.0\
&SECURITY-APPNAME=${clientId}\
&RESPONSE-DATA-FORMAT=JSON\
&REST-PAYLOAD\
&keywords=adidas`

In my case, searchResult.count was 10,

but expected count is 100 due to pagenationOutput as following.

            "paginationOutput": [
                {
                    "pageNumber": [
                        "1"
                    ],
                    "entriesPerPage": [
                        "100"
                    ],
                    "totalPages": [
                        "21201"
                    ],
                    "totalEntries": [
                        "2120034"
                    ]
                }
            ],

Other cases also return few count of search result.

Is the count of search results limited implicitly with some reason?

The Finding API will return no more than 10,000 items, and since that count can include variations, the number of actual listings can be considerably fewer than the item count. To eliminate variations from affecting the number of returnable items, include an indexed itemFilter: &itemFilter(index).name=HideDuplicateItems&itemFilter(index).value=true The Finding API can return up to 100 items per page, and will only return one page per call. If the call returned only 10 items on page 1, and 100 it...
