According to app-search documentation we can get only 100 pages of results with each page containing 1-100 results. What if my search query has more results than that could fit in 100 pages with each page having 100 results.

Thanks,

Hey @tnallabothula,

Good question. There is no way to page that far within search results. Typically, a user will only page through a few pages to find what they are looking for, and if they do not find it by then, they will simply issue a new query with some form of refinement. 100 pages of 100 results is 10,000 results, which we find is more than sufficient for users to find what they are looking for.

Hope that helps,

Jason

If you have 100.000 documents that would fit this query you will only get back the best 10.000.
