I would use that mm value to decrease it in case user's request would get no answer.
I deal with requests potentially containing a lot of parasite words, and I want to progammaticaly lower mm in a second try request if necessary. But I don't want to decrease it too much to avoid getting too many irrelevant answers. That mm value information would be useful for calculating a new mm value.
