I noticed that some “search inside a book” ends its results on page 17, even though there are more than just 17 pages of results. Why is that?
Here’s what I mean?

I search for the word “the” and the results don’t even get past the first chapter of the book.
Or when I search for the $ (dollar symbol), I also have just 17 pages of results, even though there’s more than that. (For example, I’m reading the 20th chapter of a book, and I see multiple dollar signs, yet the last page of results only go to chapter 18 or 19.

But, in the same book, when I search for a character’s last name, I get 23 pages of results.

I tried searching for a common word in other books too (specifically the word the, again), and in both other books, search results abruptly end on page 17.

What gives? I don’t get it.
