Search results

Is there a search result limitation? I seem to only be getting 2 pages of 20 results - the initial set, and then one more lazy loaded set.

With the default search or only with my Scout extension?

The default Flarum limit should be infinite in theory, since the search keywords are just added to the existing SQL query.

The Scout extension on the other hand first retrieves the list of matching discussion IDs from the search driver, and then uses that list to build the Flarum SQL query. So there's no way to get past the number of pages that the search driver generates. But there's usually a way to change the number of results returned by the search driver, either on the search service server itself or through the implementation in the Scout extension.

Also of note with my Scout extension, there are 2 indexes for discussions and posts. Both need to have their limits raised to achieve a larger number of results (might be necessary for Meilisearch).

Yeah I'm using Meilisearch via Scout - the issue is, any search made on my forum should technically return thousands of results (there's over 5 million posts, 500 thousand discussions), but it's always capped at 40. Where would I look in Scout to raise limits?

Bump - Do you have an inkling of where I might look within the extension to modify this?

Thank you!

Unfortunately I have no idea, I won't be able to test my extension before 1-2 more weeks.

But just on comparing my Scout implementation with Laravel's, it doesn't look like Laravel has any more settings, so either it's a setting in the Meilisearch server itself, or there's an error in my implementation of the SQL query that applies the Scout driver output to the Flarum query.
