Rails twitter gem search function not limiting count of tweets

I am using the twitter gem to search tweets and I want to limit my search results to 10 tweets per function call. I am using the following function

class SayController < ApplicationController
  def hello
    @tweets = $twitter.search("google", options = {count: 10})
  end
end

but I still get thousands of tweets back and it is using up my api rate limits in a couple of page loads

I also tried 

        @tweets = $twitter.search("google", count: 10)

and 

    @tweets = $twitter.search("google", count: => 10, :result_type => "recent")

But it never takes the count variable into consideration and does not limit number of tweets fetched. I followed the documentation here http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/twitter/Twitter/REST/Search but I don't understand why it does not work

Try this

@tweets = $twitter.search("google",:result_type => "recent").take(10)
