Steps to reproduce:

e.g. requested https://marketplace.firefox.com/api/v1/apps/search/?limit=20&offset=140

(it seems like there is a problem with specific applications, for example: https://marketplace.firefox.com/api/v1/apps/search/?limit=1&offset=152)


Actual results:

got 19 objects


Expected results:

20 objects should be returned

Something like this can happen when our search index becomes out of sync with our database.

It seems like this is always the case. 
Although the above links might work now, iterating over all the apps (empty query), return less apps than advertised in meta.total_count

Right. Once it's out of sync we'll either need to re-index or find the app that is out of sync manually and fix.

Note: We're currently testing a new search index that should fix this.

Is there another method to iterate over all apps other than an empty search query?

No, but the bulk exports are going live today at 2pm so you could use that for your indexing.  (This bug is still valid so leaving it open)

We've since replaced our search indexing and this appears to be fixed now. Re-open if you find again.
