 Example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/help/page/643/ shows results
 but https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/help/page/644/ doesn't. It
 redirects to https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/.

 Based on the error message there's a limit in Elasticsearch that prevents
 an offset (`from` parameter) above 9000.

 `{"error":"Bad Request","message":"Elasticsearch cannot page past the
 first 9000 results."}`

 On page 643 it's 8359 ((643-1)*14) and 644 has 9002 ((644-1)*14). Forcing
 it to 9000 still returns results.
