Actually, for a search with no a priori information about the results, you need to fetch N from both sources in case one of them has no matches. (in a paginated system, assuming you know the total number of resultsfrom the first page, subsequent pages can ask for N/2 from each source as long as you know that the current page won't exhaust either source) -Hoss
