Stardog.js limit and offset, when turned on are not giving the results for certain lucene searches. Same query when run in studio, i get results and when i remove the limit from javascript, i get results. Is this a bug?

SELECT DISTINCT ?matches ?subject ?property ?parent ?taxonomy ?preferredLabel WHERE {  
{SELECT ?matches ?preferredLabel  
?score ?parent ?subject ?property  
{ (?matches ?score) stardog:property:textMatch 'text\*' .  
?subject ?property ?matches.  
?subject rdf:type ?parent . }}  
?parent ont:coveredByConcept ?taxonomy .  
?taxonomy rdfs:prefLabel ?preferredLabel }  
group by ?matches ?subject ?property ?parent ?taxonomy ?preferredLabel

My guess is that you are missing the `accept` parameter of `query.execute`. The method signature is actually `(conn, database, query, accept, params)`, though it's very easy to skip over accept and go straight to params.

If you set the limit via `query.execute(conn, 'myDb', myQuery, undefined, {limit: myLimit})` (passing undefined for accept), do you see results?

return query.execute(conn, dbName, sparql,  
'application/sparql-results+json', {  
limit: args.limit,  
offset: args.offset  
}  
).then(({ body }) =\> {

```
        return body.results.bindings;
          
        }).catch((err) => {
            return Promise.reject(err);
         });
    }
```

Query is const other than the search field.

Would you be able to provide a minimal dataset for this query that can reproduce this issue?
