    HI 

    Yes, there is a 10K offset limit on the search endpoint. This is currently missing from our online documentation but this should be corrected shortly.

    Hi Peter,

    any plans to increase that limit? I don't fully understand the reason of this limitation. The search is already recognizing that the folder contains more than 10000 files and the response is being paginated, it shouldn't be a problem the total number of elements, isn't it?

    Regarding the "query" parameter issue, do you have any comment?

    Best.

    I am not aware of any plans to increase the limit at this point. I believe the limit is to protect the overall performance of the search functionality which is primarily there to serve search use cases where users are searching for specific content rather than more reporting style use cases. 

    With regards to the other problem I will check and log a bug if reproducible

    Best regards

    But you have introduced this limitation recently, because we have discovered folders with more than 20000 files three months ago using the same method and worked correctly. We've started experiencing this issue the last week.

    Regarding the other issue is easily reproducible, you can see it with my postman screenshots or using your web application.

    Best regards.

    Yes, it is a new limitation. I haven't got the exact date it was implemented but it is within the last month or so.

    Regarding the other issue, I can reproduce this but having some issues justifying a search use case where you search for 6 distinct letters rather than words where it works fine with 6+ words.
