Ok, I'll try that.

Will look for that as well.  The reason I believe the 88 are correct
is that I'm comparing them to our older system which is using a copy
of the same data.  It also returns 88 results for the same boundary
query and all of them are complete.

Thanks for the suggestions.  Any help at all at this point is welcome.
