Individual ADAMS searches are limited to 1000 results, which can make searches that are lengthy difficult. Additionally, long ADAMS searches can take over 10 seconds to complete which may trigger a connection timeout on some systems.

Details
To avoid these problems, this wrapper script conducts multiple searches from today back to a starting point in time. The number of searches is set by the num_interval. For example, if today is 2020/1/1 and the starting date is 2010/1/1 and number_of_intervals is set to 2, this script will conduct two searches, one from 2010 to 2015 and the other from 2015 to 2020. These search results are then combined and output to the user.
