You can page through the results by passing a startPage URL (or form)
parameter, which begins at 1.  You can also set the items-per-page by
passing a count URL parameter.  There's no "return everything"
parameter, though -- I believe the count param is limited to 100 as a
hard max.

You can see templates for searching by looking at the OpenSearch
Description document:

the hostname as appropriate, of course.)
