TL;DR: Use count for the page size and offset for the starting position, and offset is zero-based. What the docs say: Official docs (Microsoft Learn, paging Bing Web Search results): how pagination really works. To page through results, increase offset by the page size each request. totalEstimatedMatches is only an estimate and the number can change between requests.

## Fix
1. Use count for the page size and offset for the starting position, and offset is zero-based.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.
2. To page through results, increase offset by the page size each request. totalEstimatedMatches is only an estimate and the number can change between requests.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.
3. What works: To page through Bing Web Search results: set count to your page size and start offset at 0, then add the page size to offset on each next request.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.
4. Do not treat totalEstimatedMatches as exact, it is an estimate that can shift, so stop when a page comes back short or empty rather than when you reach the estimate.
   Expected: this specific failure stops.

## Details
What the docs say: Official docs (Microsoft Learn, paging Bing Web Search results): how pagination really works. Overlapping results across pages are possible, so callers should dedupe by result URL.

## When to use
You hit exactly this: Bing Web Search pagination: count and offset, and why totalEstimatedMatches lies in Bing Web Search pagination.

## When not to use
A different error, or the same symptom in a different tool. This page only covers the failure above.

## Compatibility
Bing Web Search pagination.

## Root cause
Dedupe results by URL because pages can overlap.
