Dutch term or phrase: balk
This is "balk" as is "menubalk", or as in "resultatenbalk" (that is, a zone on a web page where the results of a search action are displayed). My guess was "bar", as in "Toolbar", but "Results bar" sounds too much like somewhere you go after work...

Explanation:
Balk = bar. The question is whether the (full) results are displayed in a bar. I think this applies at most to the *number* of results and the results themselves will usually be displayed as a list and/or in pages. if you don't like results bar you could work around it using results display.
