[DuckDuckGo News API] Widely varying number of results seen on each page #2324

Description

@sonika-serpapi

A customer reported that for some queries, very few results are obtained on the first page. Then on the second page, 2 more results are obtained, and on the third a few more results are obtained, and so on. They are not sure why the first page had so few results if more were present on following pages.

I was able to test this in our playground:
First page: 3 results
Image

Second page: 2 results
Image

Third page: 6 results
Image

I see 5 entries on DuckDuckGo on page 1 for the same search and 2 on page 2 for the same search. Seems like there may be a disconnect in the way we are paginating the results.

I also noticed that some repeated results are present on the following pages after the first returned by our API. Created this issue for duplicate results issue: #2325
