The following table describes the elements returned in the above output
| Element Name | Contents |
|---|
| content:page-size | The number of content items returned with each page of results. For content listings
through the provider interface, there is only one page returned so this has the same value
as the <content:total-results> element. |
| content:start-page | The first page (0-indexed) of results returned. For content listings
through the provider interface, there is only one page returned so this is always zero. |
| content:num-results | The number of content items returned with this page of results. For content listings
through the provider interface, there is only one page returned so this has the same value
as the <content:total-results> element. |
| content:total-results | The total number of content items in the search results. |
| content:content | The full details of an individual content item. There is one of these for each published item in the search results. |
