No, Hits below I understand to be all hits resulting from the search.  The 
-m parameter on the command line is the maximum number of hits to 
return.  If one could set maxhits (-m), that would be an upper bound for 
Hits.  I am trying to find a way, using cgi and SWISH::API, to limit the 
number of hits as I did in earlier versions.  I believe I could in this 
version as well, if I used the forking version of a perl script, but that 
has problems of its own.
