[Request] More than 20 results.

Premise:
Say I have a blog with 10,000 posts and I want to retrieve all posts with 2 specified tags.
Actions:

  1. I make a query on the first tag (since only search for 1 tag is allowed), and then I check all tag arrays of each returned item to see if they have the second tag.
  2. The each tag have about 1,000 results, but only about 20 posts overlap which have both tags.
  3. My API would make a request per 20 posts, check results, then make a request for the next 20.

You see that we can easily get over 50 API requests will have to be made...

Therefor I want to request for supporting more than only 20 results on a query.

@mesqueeb These limits are set in tandem with rate-limits to ensure that consumers cannot pull too much data from the API. I realize it may be frustrating to make so many calls, but unfortunately I think you're already going about it in the best possible way.

We've previously received other similar requests when searching multiple tags at once and will keep them in mind for future development.
