This looks like a bug in Microsoft Bing API. I tried several queries and received the result as follows:

http://api.search.live.net/json.aspx?sources=Web&query=Belarus&AppId=MYAPPID

returned "Total":78800000

But when I add Web.offset=0&Web.count=50 and make request

http://api.search.live.net/json.aspx?sources=Web&Web.offset=0&Web.count=50&query=Belarus&AppId=MYAPPID

I get "Total":35

Please fill support request to Microsoft and let us know about results.

Thank you very much for your helpful answer. I will wait a little bit more. :) — hizz, Jan 17 '12 at 09:26
