Hi guys,
Just wondering how I get all of the data from the DB from a JSON request to a URL e.g. [https://example.com/search/query.json?term=market\_conditions](https://example.com/search/query.json?term=market_conditions). Looking at our database, this should contain 9 topics, but the response array only shows 5. T

Only a wild guess. A “cooked” vs. “raw” difference?

So to get ALL the topics/posts that were relevant, I queried in the URL,
[https://example.com/search.json?q=market%20conditions&include\_blurbs=true](https://example.com/search.json?q=market%20conditions&include_blurbs=true)
instead of
[https://example.com/search/query.json?term=market\_conditions](https://example.com/search/query.json?term=market_conditions)
Would someone mind explaining to me what the difference is between these?
Thanks

One is the full screen search and another the pop-up search.
Full screen: More results, but no users, categories, only posts and topics.
Pop-up: Search all elements (posts, categories, users, topics) but only 5 per type.
PS.: The team has already said they want the full page search to list everything, but they haven’t got time to do it yet.
