### Notes
Search results can be divided into two categories:

1. Search query is *specific*.
2. Search query is *general*.

In the **(1)** case, the result will contain 4 DocV1 objects

- **doc[0]** contains only one element, which is the specific app (e.g. firefox).
- **doc[1]** corresponds to the `You Might Also Like` section, and contains other less related apps.
- **doc[2]** corresponds to the `Similar Apps` section of the play store, with nearly 20 apps.
- **doc[3]** corresponds to the `More Result` section, with nearly 20 apps related to the search query.

You can verify this behaviour by yourself reading the `search-response-specific.txt`, where the query was `firefox`.

In the **(2)** case, the results contains only 1 DocV1 objects, with at most 21-22 apps. There is also a *containerMetadata* object with the URL for the next page of results.
