Hi,

Just wondered whether there is a maximum number of search results being set in the background of Discourse at all?

I wanted to see how many of the automated topics we have that are created have any responses, I found 305 that do not, but I wanted to find the total number of the automated posts (they all begin with the same text). After scrolling for some time, no more were loaded and the count was exactly 500 - this felt too _neat_ to be by chance.

I’ve looked through the admin settings for both “search” and “500” and I didn’t see anything which looked like a limit on the number of returned results.

Any information would be appreciated 🙂
