More than 3 results? #2

Is it possible for the program to show more than 3 results at a time? I have to hold enter for a very long time to view all of the results. Or at least, be able to look up a specific algorithm method.

If you just want to get a result with a specific method (and I assume you mean the A-B-C-D etc stuff), then hitting some key(s) a handful of times immediately after the program starts searching for results should do the trick, as all the keystrokes are stored in memory until the program is able to read them (or at least this is what happens in all the operating systems I could run the program in). I used to tap randomly the Left, Up and Right arrow keys for a couple of seconds when testing the program; this way, each key can be hit four times within a second in order to get 36 results, which sould be enough most of the time as the expected number of results given by each method for a specific query is the same.

Nevertheless, if somebody ever considers further filtering the results of a really broad search by using some postprocessing script, this would not work, so it is reasonable to give the user an option for skipping the pauses, which were inserted in order to get an user-friendly, but not script-friendly, interface. I will leave this issue open as a reminder of this, which could be done by using some argument handling to run the program in a clean, easy-to-parse, and probably single-query mode.
