I am getting exactly MaxResults number of results (100 when you set 100, 20 when you set 20) for the same query, and there's no NextToken returned, which indicates the API is incorrectly truncating results without providing pagination tokens.
The NextToken is also missing from the sample response in the AWS demo here
Amazon Location Services, Places API, Search Text endpoint
Expected behavior: When you get exactly MaxResults items back, there should be a NextToken if more results exist
Actual behavior: API returns exactly the number you request (20 when MaxResults=20, 100 when MaxResults=100) but fails to provide NextToken
Impact: You can't access results beyond the first page, regardless of how many total results exist
