Our last two calls to `search_pv` gave the same value for `total_patent_count` in the `query_results` object, even though we got a lot more data from the second call. This is because the entity counts in `query_results` refer to the number of distinct entities across all downloadable pages of output, not just the page that was returned. *Downloadable pages of output* is an important phrase here, as the API limits us to 100,000 records per query. For example, we got `total_patent_count = 100,000` when we searched for patents published on or after 2007, even though there are many more than 100,000 of such patents. See the FAQs below for details on how to overcome the 100,000 record restriction.

Note that, by default, **PatentsView uses disambiguted versions of assignees, inventors, and locations, instead of raw data.** For example, let's say you search for all inventors whose first name is "john." The PatentsView API is going to return all of the inventors who have a preferred first name of john (as per the disambiguation results), which may not necessarily match their raw first name. So you could be getting back inventors whose first name is, say, "jonathan," "johnn," or even "john jay." You can search on the raw inventor names instead of the preferred names by using the fields starting with "raw" (e.g., `rawinventor_first_name`). Note that the assignee and location raw data fields are not currently being offered by the API.
