[developers] Show N results on web demo

[Emily M. Bender]

Thanks, Stephan.  Two follow up questions:

-- Is the MRS-latex-generating facility accessible via the
non-web system in any way?   (In the LUI, I can find
a way to send the Simple MRS view to latex, resulting
in an avm, but not the indexed MRS.)

-- Is the all/best pair of radio buttons actually meaningful?
(The drop down selecting the number of results would
seem to be providing full information already.)
