SearchHelper MaxResults

John Fu asked on September 30, 2015 08:39

Hi, was wondering if it's possible to increase the MaxResults returned by SearchHelper.Search().

The property SearchHelper.MaxResults is readonly. Is there some configuration in admin that can alter this?

Thanks.

Hi John,

Have you tried using the SearchParameters object (NumberOfResults property)?

SearchParameters parameters = new SearchParameters
            {
                SearchFor = keywords,
                SearchSort = null,
                Path = null,
                ClassNames = null,
                CurrentCulture = "##ALL##",
                DefaultCulture = null,
                CombineWithDefaultCulture = false,
                CheckPermissions = false,
                SearchInAttachments = false,
                User = MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser,
                SearchIndexes = sii.IndexName,
                NumberOfResults = 100,
                AttachmentWhere = null,
                AttachmentOrderBy = null,
            };
            DataSet sr = SearchHelper.Search(parameters);

Good luck!

David

Hi, yes I have. And that doesn't seem to have any effect on the MaxResults returned.

Nevermind. I have got around the issue by filtering the list. I was trying to utilize the search index to pull in all the documents in 1 go instead of filtering the list. The original idea of pulling in everything was because the index was much more efficient compared to DocumentHelper.GetDocuments().

Thanks. John.

Hi John,

Did you try to add the parameters NumberOfProcessedResults (performance) and DisplayResults as well?

Yep. I tried putting 10000 in both and it still only returned 1000 records.

I had a quick look in the full source. Please add the following in the web.config, in the appSettings section:

<add key="CMSSearchMaxResultsNumber" value="10000"/>
