Limit the number of Search results

asked on August 7, 2015

A client would like to limit the number of Search results show up when searching for something through Weblink.  Example:  They search for the word "Smith" or "Park" and they get like 400 total results.  They would like to set a limit to only return the top 200 or something like that.  Is there a way to customize the Web.config or the Search.aspx file that can limit the number of returned results?

 

Thanks

If you were to limit the total number of search results, you would presumably be returned a random assortment of entries, which may not be as useful for you. We could set the pagination to a lower number, like 10 results, for searches with relevance. The lower number of results per pages would also help with performance. Would it work for you to limit the number of search results per page, rather than the total? If not, could you please explain why and provide a use case?
