Fetch work item search results: usage of top and changedDate

Hey there,
am trying to find matches for some keywords with fetch_work_item_search_results. Param top within WorkItemSearchRequest is limited to max. 1000, does this mean they're max. 1000 results that can be returned or max. 1000 work items that are even checked?
I'd also like to apply a filter to check only for the work items from the past week, but when adding the filter with System.ChangedDate following exception is thrown:
azure.devops.exceptions.AzureDevOpsServiceError: Unknown filter [System.ChangedDate] found.. Which filter could be used instead or is there no possibility to filter a specific timeframe without using WIQL?

sort_option = SortOption(field='system.id', sort_order='ASC')
for keyword in test_keywords:
    search_request = WorkItemSearchRequest(
        #filters = { 'System.ChangedDate': [ '@Today-7' ]},
        search_text = keyword,
        order_by = [sort_option],
        skip = 0, 
        top = 1000, 
        include_facets = False
    )
    work_item_search_response = search_client.fetch_work_item_search_results(search_request, project=project_name)

先从 issue 中显示的 WorkItemSearchRequest 和 fetch_work_item_search_results 入口点开始，然后查阅 Azure DevOps work item search API 文档，了解 top 限制和支持的筛选器。完成标准是记录 top 限制的是返回的工作项还是搜索的工作项，并确定按更改日期限制结果的受支持方式，或者明确说明需要 WIQL。
