 In Plugins > Add New, I'm searching for "custom fields" and I'm given 2850
 items and 95 pages.

 After installing this patch:
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/18724/18724.2.patch], I
 put in a page number bigger than 95, let's say 100.

 After hitting enter, I'm prompted with a new number of results: 9544 items
 and 319 pages.

 Why did this number change?
